The Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service, working in cooperation with the Jackson County Cattle Raisers Association, has announced the upcoming First Annual Upper Gulf Coast Stockman’s Conference. The inaugural event is scheduled to take place on Sept. 24 at the Brackenridge Main Event Center in Edna.
The conference aims to deliver an evening of education, networking and industry-wide support for the Gulf Coast cattle sector.
The event program features a diverse lineup, including a trade show, a catered dinner and a live stockmanship demonstration.
Dr. Ron Gill, a Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Livestock Specialist, will lead the educational demonstration, providing attendees with practical, expert insights into livestock management.
To help defray the operational costs of the conference, organizers are actively seeking local business and individual sponsorships, according to a news release. Three distinct tiers of support are available. The Gold Star sponsorship, priced at $500, offers an assigned booth space, event and social media recognition, a printed logo on the official agenda and a prominent business banner displayed inside the arena. The Silver Star level is available for $250 and includes an assigned booth space, event and social media recognition and a logo on the agenda. The Bronze Star level, available for $150, provides official recognition at the event and across social media platforms.
Sponsorships must be received as soon as possible to ensure inclusion in the printed event program.
