CattleCon 2026 has broken the all-time event attendance record, with more than 9,400 cattle producers and industry stakeholders converging in downtown Nashville, Tennessee. The largest event of its kind brings the cattle and beef industry together each year for business meetings, education and engagement.
“It is exciting to see thousands of producers gather together with the common goal of moving our business forward,” said NCBA President Buck Wehrbein in a news release. “This record attendance demonstrates the dedication our producers have to driving beef demand and creating policy that secures a bright future for the next generation of producers.”
CattleCon 2026 continues through Feb. 5, culminating with Cowboy’s Night at the Opry in the historic Ryman Auditorium. The concert features country music legend Vince Gill along with The SteelDrivers, The Castellows and Don Schlitz.
Onsite registration is still available, so there is plenty of time to join history in the making. Visit convention.ncba.org for more information.
