The Cattlemen’s Congress has once again set the stage at the OKC Fairgrounds for its fourth annual showcase. As the largest beef cattle show in North America, it draws over 8,000 entries from 25 breeds, highlighting the industry's diversity and excellence. 

From December 30 to January 11, cattle enthusiasts will witness breeds like the newly introduced Highland, along with popular breeds like Texas Longhorns and Speckle Park. The Congress is not just a show but a marketplace, facilitating sales that contribute significantly to the industry's economy. 

Bray Haven, the Executive Vice President, in a conversation with Ron Hays, emphasized the importance of the Congress for cattle producers nationwide. This event, driven by and for cattlemen, has become a cornerstone for the industry. 

The Trade Show, an integral part of the Congress, showcases the latest in cattle production technology and western lifestyle products. With its sold-out status, it's a clear indicator of the event's popularity and the vibrant community it supports. 

Cattlemen’s Congress 2024 stands out as a beacon for the beef cattle industry, bringing together the best in cattle genetics, industry innovation, and community spirit. It's more than a show; it's a celebration of the cattle industry's past, present, and future, continuing to draw crowds for its quality, diversity, and impact on the agricultural sector.
