The theme of Beef Bash 2023 is “Vision of the Future”. Our goal is to create an event illustrating the tremendous work done in the beef industry in Kentucky creating a vision of the future of the beef industry. We are redesigning the format to accentuate all the work being done in Kentucky to improve the sustainability of the beef industry. We will have rotations featuring current research from UK and the USDA ARS group, educational opportunities sponsored by UK and Kentucky Beef Network and we will have several demonstrations by the UK Foods group and by the Kentucky Beef Council. In addition to these rotations, we will have an update on new facilities being designed and developed for the new Beef Extension Education Facility in Princeton, the new Livestock Education Center in Versailles, and the new USDA ARS research facility located on campus. We should have something for everyone at this year's Beef Bash.

Beef Bash 2023 will be held Thursday, September 21st from 1-8 PM at the C. Oran Little Research Center. Registration will begin at 1 PM and the event will begin at 2 PM. We will have the educational components from 2-4 PM and again from 6-8 PM. We will use 4-5 PM for participants to visit the tradeshow and interact with our vendors. We will rotate participants through the stations again from 6-8 PM. We extended the rotations into the evening for those who want to attend but cannot get off work.

Dinner will be provided by the Woodford County Cattleman’s Association at 5 PM. Pre-registration for attendees will be $15 and includes a meal ticket. Come out to see a “Vision for the Future” provided by the University of Kentucky, the Kentucky Cattlemen’s Association, and the USDA ARS.
