NASHVILLE, Tenn. (RFD-TV) — Beef producers from across the country will soon head to Music City as CattleCon 2026 prepares to kick off in February. The annual gathering is the largest event of the year for the cattle industry, bringing together producers, industry leaders, and partners for several days of marketing opportunities, networking, and educational sessions.
Kristin Torres with the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) joined us in the studio on Thursday’s Market Day Report to share what attendees can expect. She highlighted the scope of the event, which will take place February 3 at the Music City Center in Nashville, Tennessee, and noted that it remains a key opportunity for producers to connect and engage with the latest industry developments.
Torres also emphasized the value of the event’s wide range of programming, which includes sessions geared toward improving producer knowledge and supporting the future of the beef industry.
The idea of buying more beef from Argentina does not sit well with much of farm country, raising some questions from analysts and producers.
