ublished by Martha Hollida Garrett for www.southernlivestock.com (August 20th 2010) The Texas A&M Beef Short Course always draws a crowd of close to 2,000 producers from several states to learn the latest industry news, technology and beef practices. In attendance this year was Vanessa Sanchez, a registered Angus and commercial cow-calf operator from Puerto Rico. 2010 marked the 10th consecutive year Sanchez and her manager, Adalberto Franqui have attended the event on the campus of Texas A&M. “After our third year, Franqui asked me, ‘how many times are we going to go?’ I replied, “When we know everything,” recalls Sanchez.
