Sponsor Testimonial
Merck Animal Health; Megan Cremer, Territory Manager
“The panel discussions involving players in the industry was super insightful. Many panels I’ve observed include policy makers, which is important, but being able to hear perspectives from the boots on the ground was very informative and helpful. The Matador Ranch Field Day was the most interesting program I have attended in a very long time.”
Attendee Testimonial
Brett Dennis — Owner, River Stone Ranch
“I commend the Matador for a superb field day event. The networking dinner provided substantial time to exchange effective ideas on breeding, nutrition and land management with both Matador managers and area ranchers. Moreover, the panel presentations and guest speakers were well prepared with in-depth topics relevant to the challenges of cattle ranching today and in the near future. This is a much needed source of ideas that can be critical to anyone’s cattle operation. I very much look forward to this summer’s event.”
