The 2026 Ohio Beef Expo, hosted by the Ohio Cattlemen’s Association (OCA), will take place March 19–22 at the Ohio Expo Center in Columbus, Ohio.
OCA invites all Ohio Beef Expo exhibitors to join an evening of networking with fellow cattlemen and industry leaders at The Social, on Thursday, March 19, at 5:30 p.m. in the food court area of the Trade Show at the Ohio Expo Center. The Social is open to all OCA members, Expo cattle and trade show exhibitors, and volunteers. The event is free to attend and will include light appetizers and drinks, including selections from Ohio Wines.
The Social will feature a live auction with proceeds benefiting OCA’s Political Action Committee (PAC), which supports ag-friendly candidates in upcoming elections. Auction items include cattle prints by C.J. Brown, clippers, Ohio State University football tickets, and other collectibles.
Attendees will also enjoy live music by Dalton & Delaney, an acoustic duo from Ohio. Dalton and Delaney met in 2022 through the National FFA Talent Program and discovered a shared passion for music. Both musicians have strong ties to the agriculture industry, having grown up actively involved in 4-H and FFA.
National Roper Supply (NRS) has generously donated a premium pair of boots for both men and women. A special drawing will be held during The Social to select two lucky OCA members in attendance to receive the boots.
