Overview

Please join us for a presentation of World Without Cows. This Alltech produced documentary features the work of filmmakers Michelle Michael and Brandon Whitworth. The duo spent three years traveling the world in search of the answer to one simple question: Are we better of in a world without cows? 

Through interviews with farmers, experts in agriculture and environmental science, and more, they examined the cultural and economic significance of cows, their role in nourishing the world, and their impact on the climate. World Without Cows explores the true impact of cattle on our world. The 60-minute documentary will be followed by a panel discussion and Q & A with local leaders and light refreshments. 

Panelists invited will include:

  • Annexstad Family Dairy Farms
