About the Master Cattleman Program
The Master Cattleman Program is a comprehensive educational curriculum designed to
enhance participants’ proficiency in beef cattle production and business management,
ultimately facilitating improved profitability and quality of life for beef cattle
producers. The program began in 2004 and equips participants with research-based information
on all aspects of beef production, business planning, risk management and marketing.
The Master Cattleman Program is a producer certification process with an educational
curriculum based on the Oklahoma Beef Cattle Manual. The base cost for the program
is $175. Additional fees may be charged locally to cover costs of other materials
supplied. Participants receive the Beef Cattle Manual, instructional materials, and
if all program requirements are completed, a producer certificate, a personalized
Master Cattleman farm gate sign, and a notebook embossed with the Master Cattleman
logo.
