ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (RFD-TV) — Country music star, Army veteran and Grand Ole Opry member Craig Morgan will deliver the opening keynote at CattleCon 2027 in Nashville.

Kristin Torres with the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association joined us on Wednesday’s Market Day Report to discuss the announcement.

In her conversation with RFD-TV, Torres said Morgan’s 17 years of military service and music career make him a fitting choice for the convention, where he will speak about leadership, faith and family.

The opening session is included with registration, and attendees can save $50 by using the code MILITARY through Friday, November 13.

CattleCon will also feature educational sessions and a trade show with more than 400 exhibitors.
