Cattlemen Connect Education Series

Cattlemen Connect Education Series (CCES) meetings debuted in 2022, and have been a well-received addition to the producer education lineup. These one-day regional meetings are dedicated to bringing important resources closer to you and your farm. CCES meetings will continually move around each region, and highlight different sessions and speakers, so keep an eye out for the meeting nearest you. We will host a meeting in Northern, Central, and Southern Illinois each year. Our goal is to focus on topics that matter to producers in each region, and provide knowledge and resources that will benefit you! Registration for CCES can be completed below, or by calling the IBA office at (217) 787-4280.
