Where Is the Ohio Beef Expo
COLUMBUS — Planning is underway for the Ohio Cattlemen's Association's 34th Ohio Beef Expo, the premier event for Ohio's beef industry.
The Ohio Expo Center in Columbus will provide cattle enthusiasts from across the state with a unique experience that brings education, breed sales, youth shows, industry retail opportunities and more together all in one place, March 17-20.
This year's schedule will include events like the judging contest and youth quality assurance training.
For the first time in the history of the expo, the coliseum will be used for all junior activities. The junior show will continue with the market animal show Saturday and the heifer show Sunday. All junior show stalling will take place online, and viaducts are reserved for OCA BEST sponsors.
Eight breeds will host sales during the expo and, like last year, there will only be one sale ring. The expo trade show will continue to host vendors and retailers of all kinds to provide attendees with the opportunity to purchase everything from semen to trailers and from show supplies to insurance. The trade show will open March 17 at 3 p.m.
