He says producers will be able to glean plenty of information from the seminars.He says one workshop will focus on balancing Angus genetics and hybrid vigor in breeding programs.That forum will be led by Dr. Jim Gosi, an animal science professor at the University of Nebraska. The sessions are being held in Lewis, Iowa; Tecumseh, Nebraska; Clay Center, Kansas and St. Joseph, Missouri.
