The South Dakota Stockgrowers Association and South Dakota Cattlewomen will be hosting their annual convention and trade show in Rapid City this year.

The groups say the two day event that begins October 1, 2015 will include forums, international trade, property rights and animal health.

Staff with the SDSU Extension will offer a comprehensive look at three key computer accounting programs and will explain how to use them for ranch record keeping.

State Veterinarian Dr. Dustin Oedekoven will also address convention attendees.

The Cattlewomen's convention will feature planning sessions for future beef promotions, crafts, social media training and other activities.
