Mark Your Calendars for the Second Annual Cattlemen's Congress
Fri, 27 Aug 2021 11:46:47 CDT
The second go-around of the new Cattlemen's Congress is set to take place right at the beginning of 2022. Born out of pandemic shutdowns in Denver and Ft. Worth and a need to allow cattlemen and women an opportunity to exhibit their cattle and showcase the highest quality genetics the cattle industry can offer, the Cattlemen's Congress was a huge success, Jarold Callahan, chairman of the 2022 Cattlemen's Congress committee, said.
"The feedback was unbelievable because we had a theme when we started," Callahan said. "We wanted to have a cattle show for cattle people."
Callahan was one of many, who helped make Cattlemen's congress become a reality in 2021. To get folks interested, show staff decided not to charge for parking or admission, making the show as user-friendly as possible for the folks who were showing and selling cattle, Callahan said.
With the second ever Cattlemen's Congress in the calendar for Jan. 1 - 16, Callahan said he is excited about this next show.
"The response from the breed associations, the breeders and the exhibitors from last year has been very, very good," Callahan said. "We expect to have a very successful event."
Another exciting aspect of this coming Cattlemen's Congress is the amount of time leadership must plan for it, Callahan said. And even though this is just the second year of the Cattlemen's Congress, Callahan said there are already improvements being made.
"Last year we just had a pen show, that is going to be expanded to have carload," Callahan said. "We think there will be more bulls there on display that will be available to commercial cattlemen to come and look at."
Callahan said the Cattlemen's Congress will continue to focus on serving the commercial cattle industry because after all, that's the purpose of the seed stock business.
