The dates have been set for the 2010 BEEF 509 program.

The program will take place on February 16, 19 and 20. The part of the program will be held during the evening of Tuesday, February 16 with the live animal evaluation session and grid pricing discussion. Carcass grading and fabrication are among the activities that will take place February 19 and 20. The program will take place at The Ohio State University Animal Sciences building in Columbus. All the same information and activities from past 509 programs will be included. It will be critical to attend all days as participants will be assigned to teams that will work together throughout the program.

A maximum of 32 spaces will be available on a first come, first served basis. If interest in BEEF 509 exceeds the 32 spaces provided, names will be held and applicants notified of upcoming sessions. The registration fee for each BEEF 509 participant is $150. The program is the result of a partnership with the Ohio Beef Council, The Ohio State University Extension and The Ohio State University Department of Animal Sciences. These entities will be funding all remaining costs associated with the BEEF 509 program.
