DUBUQUE, Iowa — The 2025 Driftless Region Beef Conference will be noon to 9 p.m. Jan. 23-24 at the Grand River Convention Center, 500 Bell St., Dubuque.

With the national beef cow herd at record low numbers and fed cattle numbers still decreasing, marketing and the future of the cow herd expansion is the timely focus of the 13th annual Driftless Region Beef Conference. This conference brings together beef producers and Extension specialists for an educational program that focuses on production needs and timely topics.

Attendees will select from eight different workshop topics to develop a customized program. The popular Bull Pen discussion will be held Thursday evening. Visit with conference sponsors in the display area and learn about the products and services they offer along with many fellow beef producers from the region.
