Registration is open for the Mountain Meat Summit, hosted by Montana State University Extension. The summit is an annual program featuring educational tours, technical sessions and consulting. The summit will be held May 21-23 in Bozeman. Early registration is available until April 1.

The summit is designed for individuals and businesses that engage with meat supply chains in the mountain West. The agenda will include topics relevant to farmers, ranchers, meat processors, chefs, wholesale buyers and educators according to Tommy Bass, MSU Extension livestock environment and sustainability specialist.

“The summit will offer important education, technical assistance and resources to key stakeholders in the mountain West meat supply chain,” said Bass. “Attendees will have several opportunities to network with meat supply chain businesses, consultants and academic experts.”

Bass said the primary goal of the summit is to advance market opportunities and strengthen supply chain relationships across the region. More information, including the summit agenda, can be found here.
