"Every year the Cattle Industry Annual Convention & NCBA Trade Show is THE go-to event in the industry. Not only in terms of the business meetings, but including the educational opportunities, the ability to see new products, hands on access for product comparisons, access to the expertise of the exhibitors & networking with cattlemen from all across the country."
