Educational programs to be held virtually and at four locations across Nevada

RENO, Nev. – The University of Nevada, Reno will host the annual Cattlemen’s Update in person and virtually in 2023, Jan. 9 – 13. For over 50 years, the University has held several sessions across Nevada in January to provide ranchers with current research-based information about issues that may affect the efficiency, productivity, profitability and sustainability of their businesses and Nevada’s cattle industry.

Jacob DeDecker, named the College’s associate dean for engagement and director of Extension in July, will welcome attendees and present some updates.
