Participants will receive a certificate as a Virginia Master Cattleman upon successful completion of all seven sessions of the program.

The goal of the program is to build foundational knowledge that can be applied to advanced beef educational programs.

Weekly instruction will be delivered live using a web-based learning management system, and the course website will be used to provide educational materials and supplemental instruction.
