The planning committee for this program considered the developing demand for Beef Quality Assurance Certification and knowledge. This program is being offered to address those questions and provides ranchers the opportunity to ask questions of experts in this field. The trade show will be filled with vendors that represent cattle nutrition and health, pasture management, cattle handling, large equipment, financial institutions, crop insurance, real estate, Florida labeled beef, and many more.

 Large, medium, and small beef cattle ranchers, cowboys, ranch managers, agriculture educators, and youth cattle exhibitors can benefit from this opportunity. We welcome all involved in the cattle industry to visit the trade show and learn from the greatest experts in the country!

 Once again, please note that this program is being held at a new location:

Okeechobee Agri-Civic Center

4601 Highway 710

Okeechobee, FL
