The weekend isn’t all lectures—attendees can pick their choice of two Beef Blitz pre-event tours. Experience Cactus Feeders’ Wrangler Feedyard or Cactus Beef Packers, Amarillo’s ground beef facility. Each tour costs an additional $50 to attend and has limited capacity, available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Stage sessions will kick off with returning speaker Dan Basse, AgResource Company, who will provide a global market overview of how to prepare for risk management amid shifting markets. The afternoon will feature topics of cattle management and marketing, an update on red meat yield and a panel discussion about the value of coordinating supply chain efforts.
Cap off the night with a tip of the hat to 2026 Industry Achievement Award winner, Del Miles, DVM, at a reception and dinner featuring the Certified Angus Beef brand. Miles and CAB President John Stika will sit down to discuss the evolution of veterinary medicine in the beef industry and Miles’ commitment to improving feedyard management.
The event wraps up on Aug. 5, after the morning sessions covering topics such as how Certified Angus Beef Prime is a practical target for cattlemen, evolving ground beef sales opportunities, updates on the beef-on-dairy market, advancements in feed and herd health, and strategies for herd expansion and goal-setting.
