The Missouri Department of Agriculture (MDA) is providing an opportunity for two Missouri cattle producers to participate in the 2022 Mexico Trade Mission for Beef Cattle & Genetics. The Trade Mission will provide producers the chance to gain insight into Mexico's cattle industry, participate in ranch tours, promote Missouri beef cattle and genetics, and expand their markets internationally.
The Missouri Department of Agriculture has held two other events this year in conjunction with Mexico. We are always looking to connect cattlemen internationally and grow relationships. This trip will also allow Missouri producers to learn more about Mexico's environment, genetic progress, herd management and technology. These components will be key in marketing future genetics to Mexico.
This international opportunity takes place Oct. 25-28. All interested participants must fill out the application at https://bit.ly/3wKbLRj and submit it to Taylor Buckley at taylor.buckley@mda.mo.gov.
Application deadline is Sept. 12. A valid passport is required.
The Missouri Department of Agriculture will cover the costs of airfare, lodging, ground transportation (in Mexico) and a translator. Costs for incidentals, passport and meals will be the responsibility of the participant.
