KIRKSVILLE, Mo. — The Missouri Livestock Symposium committee is dedicated to addressing the challenges of Missouri farmers and ranchers as we have for the last two decades. 2020 has provided challenges on many levels and the 21st annual Missouri Livestock Symposium will adapt to meet those challenges.

The decision to move from a traditional in-person event to a virtual platform was not made lightly. We know everyone would prefer an in-person event, however due to the ongoing concerns for public health, we have made the decision to offer free virtual educational resources in 2020. The program will undoubtedly look different, but the focus on providing livestock producers with the best ideas and information will remain. Moving to a virtual platform gives us the potential to interact with a whole new clientele that may not make the annual trip to Kirksville. Think of it as more of a winter educational series this year. These educational resources will be available starting in December and run through February.
