Beef ID Day -January 16, 2021:  As we look to 2021, we are asking that you "Save the Date"  on Saturday, January 16th for steer tagging and weigh in with a snow date of Saturday, January 23rd. This is a full week later than normal as we have moved outside of the 14 day window from the holidays.   While we do not know what the immediate future holds, we are hopeful that we can move forward with this important process to identify and verify steer ownership.  Please know that at any time things can change based on the COVID-19 pandemic and restrictions.  More information will be sent in early December to everyone regarding the registration process and details for January 16th.
