American Shorthorn Association announces Shorthorn University 2008The American Shorthorn Association is pleased to announce that Shorthorn University 2008 will take place in the state of Ohio over the weekend of July 25 to 27. Shorthorn University aims to broaden breeder's awareness of the entire beef industry in an effort to give these attendees contact with influential leaders and opportunities to build relationships with fellow cattlemen. This tour has gained great interest over the past couple years among Shorthorn breeders and commercial breeders alike, and once again the ASA has collaborated with breeders from Ohio, as well as others to make sure this event gives adults a chance to learn industry techniques, gain resources, and help broaden their knowledge base of the industry. "Shorthorn 'U' has had great participation in the past and it is a great opportunity for people of all ages to learn something," says Cody Nelson, Western Regional Director for the ASA. "I encourage all ASA members, as well as commercial cattlemen, to attend this tour and see what methods other breeders use that can help them with their own herds." The weekend will kick off July 25, at Ohio State University, and consist of speakers on cow size and efficiency, and export markets, as well as herd visits to large and small programs utilizing rotational grazing, winter grazing, and cooperated herds. The registration deadline for the event is July 11. Additional information, schedule, and registration form can be found at shorthorn.org or by contacting the ASA at 1-877-272-0686. 5/12/08 Date: 5/8/08
