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.
The Ohio Beef Expo will host seven seedstock sales throughout Friday, March 20, and Saturday, March 21. Each sale will feature registered females, bulls, and elite genetics, with consignors from across the United States.
Buyers will have multiple opportunities to view cattle prior to sale. Some breeds will host shows where cattle compete before entering the sale ring, while others will conduct breed parades. Both formats allow buyers to evaluate cattle ahead of sale time. In addition, online bidding for all Ohio Beef Expo sales will be available through CCI.live.
All breed shows and parades will take place in Cooper Arena, and all sales will be held in the Voinovich Building.
