The course is for learners with basic knowledge of beef cattle or beef cattle production.  Ideally, learners participating in BP300 will have completed BP200 Beef Cattle Production - Classroom.  BP300's language and terminology go beyond that presented in either BP100 or BP200; learners will move among stations at an actuall beef cattle production operation.   BP300 is an ideal program for learners with more than a passing interest in starting  beef cattle production.    

Learning Level  Advanced beginning farmer or diversifying producer.
