Upcoming Events.

Each winter, Premier joins our trade partners to host meetings on beef information to help your herd. This year is NO exception! We’ll be joined by Elanco to discuss feed conversions, Rumensin (a big player over the years in our programs) and the resulting return on investment. We’ll also feature a presentation from Corteva.  

Join us Tuesday, February 8th in Readstown and Wednesday, February 9th in Arthur, WI and get a free dinner and chance to win door prizes! To register, contact your local Premier Cooperative representative or office.
 
In addition, to the meetings, winter is a great time to take advantage of our mineral booking program to get the best price on Purina Wind and Rain Minerals and Tubs. Our sales reps and members of the Purina Team are always there to answer all your questions about the program and take care of anything else you might need.
