Speakers

Tim O’Byrne is the Keynote Speaker for the Wednesday Opening Session Luncheon. Tim has worked hard over the years to establish long-term relationships with key industry people responsible for improving and safeguarding livestock production. After many years working in the cattle industry, Tim decided to set up his own consulting company in Alberta dealing specifically with training programs for feedlot personnel. He now lives in Las Vegas, Nevada and is the editor for Working Ranch magazine. Tim’s first book, “Cowboys and Dog Tales”, was published by Caitlin Press and distributed in Canada by Harbour Publishing in 1997. He has authored over 60 articles published in Canadian Cattlemen magazine. In 2000, Tim began to write ranch-related articles for Western Horseman magazine, based in Colorado. In addition Tim has written many technical manuals and video scripts that deal with humane transportation and handling of livestock. His book, “Cowboys & Buckaroos” provides a description of the

cowboy life along with horse and cattle handling.
