Sign up for this free marketing webinar today!

Friday February 21, 2025 at 10:30 a.m. CST (Sask)   â€‹

​

We are excited to announce a change in format for the 2025 LMS annual marketing webinar - this year we are welcoming two presenters:

 

Considering the recent US election and discussions related to possible tariffs, deportation of migrant workers, etc., we welcome Dr. Kee Jim back for a second year in a row and he will be presenting, “Cattle Market Outlook for 2025: Potential impact of US tariffs.” Dr. Jim will provide his views on the dynamic times in the North American beef industry. As a significant player on both sides of the border, Dr. Jim will have a unique perspective.
 

LMS also welcomes Don Davies of VeeTee Feeders to share his insights on what he looks for when procuring cattle. Don hails from Lloydminster, Saskatchewan and has been buying cattle for nearly 30 years, both for VeeTee Feeders and for custom orders. Learn through his lens the do’s and don’ts when marketing your feeder cattle.

Over the last four years, our marketing webinars have attracted participants from across Canada and into the United States.  If you are interested to participate in this free webinar, I encourage you to register as soon as possible as we will max out at 250 registrants and last year, we ‘sold out’. Please see the attached poster for more information.  Fee free to share it through your networks.
