Thank you to everyone who joined us for the Livestock Emergency Response Plan Training Course. More than 70 first responders, including sheriff’s departments, emergency management coordinators, fire, and EMS, came together to strengthen their skills in responding to livestock-related incidents.

Participants gained hands-on experience, improved scene coordination strategies, and a deeper understanding of the unique challenges livestock emergencies present.

A special thank you to our sponsors: KLA, Kansas Beef Council, The Hartford Insurance Company, Fink Beef Genetics, and Cimarron Trailers. We appreciate your help in making this training possible.
