“Where real-world ranching meets the next generation.”

HP Spur’s recent open house welcomed more than 120 attendees to the Kansas Flint Hills for a firsthand look at its new learning and research facility. Industry experts explored everything from beef quality, cattle performance and emerging technology to grazing management, conservation and preserving the region’s unique tallgrass prairie.

Through it all, one message remained clear: We are selling beef—and the future of the industry depends on producing a consistent, valuable product while caring for the animals and land that make it possible.

Read the full article on page 6 of the Aug/Sep 26 edition to learn how HP Spur is bringing some of agriculture’s best minds together to test ideas, share knowledge and prepare the next generation for success.

Looking forward to this endeavor in the venue conference room! Follow along The Ranch Rolodex for more details!

Not every ranch problem gets solved from the seat of a pickup.

Some get solved around a table, through hard-earned lessons, and conversations with folks who’ve been there before.

We’re getting things dialed in behind the scenes for the launch of The Ranch Rolodex Podcast this July. Real stories. Real challenges. Real resources for ranchers looking to move forward.

Stay tuned. We’re just getting started.

Looking forward to this promenade!

Tonight is Council Grove High Schools Prom. Between approximately 5 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., parking will be blocked off in the 100 block of West Main Street to ensure the safety of our kids as they pull up in a lane created for them in front of the Territory Ballroom. Wood Street will be shut down during this time for the same reason. Have a great night kids 💯
