OCA's RoundUp Meetings
OCA recognizes the importance of serving individual members across the state, and the goal of the RoundUp Meetings is to offer informative, hands-on learning experiences as part of a current OCA membership. Each year, the program will focus on a different aspect of the cattle industry with a new meeting series that is important to producers in the state of Ohio.
Each meeting is free to attend, although registration is required. Meeting topics will vary by location, but each meeting includes timely industry information.
Attendance at each meeting is limited for the in-person programs. Producers should register early, or risk missing out on the chance to take part in this unique learning opportunity for their operations'.
