The Three-State Beef Conference provides essential updates on cow-calf and stocker topics to beef cattle producers and industry stakeholders. With specialists from leading beef cattle land grant universities—University of Nebraska, University of Missouri, and Iowa State University—alongside insights from industry experts, the conference serves as a vital platform for knowledge exchange.

In 2024 our theme, "Reevaluating Today’s Management Practices for Future Success," underscored the importance of staying abreast of the latest advancements. We emphasized the need to reevaluate management practices in light of new information and technologies to enhance sustainability and profitability in beef production.
