Each year, for the past several years, we have attended the Beef Improvement Federation meetings. Since they rotate between regions of the United States and Canada, it gives us an opportunity to visit parts of the country that we probably otherwise would not get to visit. We also attend the National Western Livestock Show in Denver as often as possible.

A major benefit of attending functions associated with the cattle business, such as the annual BIF conference are the many friends that you get to make.
