Cow Country Cancellation

In the best interest of the beef & forage producers impacted by Hurricane Ike, the 2008 Cow Country Congress program scheduled for September 26, 2008 has been canceled. As of Saturday electricity was still off at the host ranch and they had 19 trees down in pens near the barn. Due to scheduling conflicts with the location and landowner, We do not see the possibility of a reschedule for this program.
