The Alltech Global Dairy & Beef Conference got underway with a very tasty reception at the Centre International Deauville. Dr. Pearse Lyons welcomed us to France and then introduced some world class music.

The food here in Deauville is awesome. We had some great hamburgers at the reception. I am sure it was some local Normandy beef! But that was just a small part of the food we tasted last night. I hope I move on to Scotland this week without having added to many pounds.

During the conference we’ll hear relevant talks and engage with people from around the world to get a big-picture analysis of the global landscape for beef and dairy. There will also be evening discussion dinners and a visit to the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games.
