“With this virtual seminar, we would like to provide the opportunity for attendees to hear about security in terms of property and equipment, especially for those who reside closer to the border,” said Zach Schaefer, AgriLife Extension agriculture and natural resources agent in Culberson County. ”However, the information is certainly applicable all across the state. The other portion of the seminar will cover livestock and offer essential information regarding beef cattle.”
