About

Pearls of Production Conference

Date: December 11-12, 2026

Event Description:
Join us for the annual Pearls of Production Conference, designed to provide practical knowledge, hands-on learning, and networking opportunities for livestock producers.

Participants may register for Friday only, Saturday only, or both days of the conference, allowing flexibility to fit individual schedules and interests. Lunch will be provided on Saturday for all registered attendees.

Back this year is the Future Pearls of Production Conference, a special program for children ages 5–12. Child registration is available only for children of adults participating in Pearls of Production. This addition makes it easier for parents to attend while their kids enjoy engaging agricultural activities.
