Natural, conventional beef to be discussed at April forum

BOZEMAN, Mont. (AP)--The risks and rewards of raising and marketing natural and conventional beef will be discussed at this year's Montana Livestock Forum and nutrition Conference.

The gathering is set for April 15 and 16 at the Gran Tree Hotel in Bozeman.

John Paterson, a Montana State University Extension Service beef specialist, says experts and producers will discuss how ranchers can continue to meet consumer demands for safe and wholesome beef. Attendees also will compare the taste of beef samples and hear a summary of Montana's natural beef law.

The second day of the forum will focus on Montana beef research, residual feed intake and cattle market issues.

The cost of the event is $60 for both days or $45 for one day. To register, call 406-994-3414 or send an e-mail to anitag@montana.edu.
