has strong industry support and will offer
pertinent information valuable to both
Extension professionals and their
clientele. We have a stellar group of
speakers who will present and following
the keynote presentations, we will have
Extension professionals describe how they
have implemented Low Stress Livestock
Handling training in their state. The
Symposium will be preceded by an Extension
luncheon partially funded by the NM Beef
Council. </span><span
