Beef Cattle Welfare
Bridging Research and Practice for the Future of Beef Cattle Welfare
The International Symposium on Beef Cattle Welfare, founded by a cooperating team of U.S. and Canadian animal scientists and
veterinarians, is a biennial event hosted in rotation by partner institutions in both countries.
​
Join us June 1-3, 2026, for the first in-person symposium since 2018.

See you in Lincoln!
We’re thrilled to announce that the International Symposium on Beef Cattle Welfare is back and will convene from June 1-3, 2026, at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
​
The Steering Committee has developed a comprehensive, high-caliber program that brings together leading experts from academia and industry, representing the full scope of the beef production system. The program is designed to address key priorities in beef cattle welfare while advancing practical, science-based solutions across sectors.
​
We look forward to welcoming colleagues, collaborators, and friends from across the globe to reconnect, share research, and advance beef cattle welfare together.
See you soon in Lincoln!
