The Ohio Beef Expo has long been the premier event for Ohio’s beef industry and this celebratory anniversary year is sure to be one for the record books. Be sure to bring the entire family, because there is something for everyone. Several schedule changes have taken place this year to help accomodate exhibitors during a fast-paced event. This year’s Youth Day activities have been moved to Friday. This includes the Judging Contest and youth Beef Quality Assurance (BQA) sessions. Friday will kick off with the Judging Contest, Educational Seminar, breed shows, trade show, feeder cattle sale and youth BQA sessions. In addition, there will be a hospitality hour at 4:00 p.m. in the OCA booth. The County Affiliate Recruitment Contest wrap up and one lucky county affiliate winner will be chosen in the drawing on Friday evening at 5:00 p.m. and the Junior Show Welcome party kicks off at 5:30 p.m. in the Evans Cattle Company Arena. This year’s breed consignors are following tradition, offering another outstanding set of sale cattle and the Genetic Pathway continues to grow in popularity with some of the industry’s leading sires and donor females from across the country on display. The trade show has once again sold out and exhibitors are looking forward to you stopping by to visit with them about their latest products and how they can help you in your operation. Saturday will host the youth showmanship competition, starting at noon. The junior show, which continues to be one of the most competitive junior shows in the country, will take place on Sunday morning with heifers in the ring at 8 a.m. We have some exceptional educational events lined up again this year, including the Educational Seminar, Stock Show U Clinic and Weaver Livestock Demonstration, which will all take place on Friday. You can find more details about these events included in this program. Don’t miss the opportunity to stop by the OCA booth in the trade show to renew your OCA membership. Join OCA at any time during the Expo and talk about issues, member opportunities and benefits that you can take advantage of by being a part of OCA! New members that sign up at the Expo will also receive a sorting stick along with an entry into a drawing for a Val 6 heater that will be drawn for on Sunday afternoon at the close of the trade show. OCA members and trade show and cattle exhibitors are also invited to The Social, Thursday evening at the Crowne Plaza North at 7:30 p.m.. Continuing this year, there will be some special items auctioned off during The Social with proceeds to benefit OCA’s Political Action Committee (PAC) to support ag-friendly political candidates and also a new scholarship fund.

Each year, dedicated volunteers spend countless hours ensuring the success of the Ohio Beef Expo. In an effort to show the Ohio Cattlemen’s Association’s sincere appreciation for those who have dedicated themselves over the years, the Ohio Beef Expo planning committee presents the Friend of the Expo award to worthy recipients, who like many others, have contributed to the success of the past 30 years of the Expo. the Expo they would immediately get a sense of the impact that the industry Dave Russell “I’m blown away –honored. I don’t do things for recognition. I do things because I like doing them,” Russell shared. “I like being around the young people and seeing the hard work they put in.” “Wow, this is impressive,” was Dave Russell’s reaction during his first time at the Ohio Beef Expo. The Hancock County native is the owner of the voice heard echoing through the show ring during the Expo for the past six years now. Russell grew up helping a neighbor on his farm and then started farm broadcasting in 1978 with WRFD Columbus, where he spent a large portion of his career. His voice and personality allowed him to be ideal for announcing at stock shows as well. For many years Russell announced at the Hoosier Beef Congress, and then he was invited to announce at the Ohio Beef Expo, the Ohio State Fair beef breeding and market beef shows, the Make-a-Wish Celebrity Showdown, and a few other BEST shows throughout the years. Russell especially enjoys the Expo because of the camaraderie and the opportunity to see familiar faces at what he described as “a great event that showcases the cattle industry in such a big way here in Ohio and the Midwest.” “Sometimes people forget how important the cattle industry is in Ohio,” said Russell. If they’ve never been to 18 | 2017 Ohio Beef Expo Program He sees the Expo as a great networking tool where he enjoys seeing old friends as well as many new faces that come along with the crowded aisles in the Voinovich Building. “I’m really blessed to have the opportunity in Ohio to be a part of the show supply family.” Stop by the trade show and say hello to White this year. He can be found at White’s Show Supply in the Voinovich Building. has in the state.” Roy White Roy White, of Greenville, Ohio, is a true “Friend of the Expo” and longtime supporter of the event. He is a familiar face at the Ohio Beef Expo; in fact, White has been at each and every Expo since the first in 1988. “My livelihood stems from growing up showing cattle and farming with my dad,” said White. Like most, he started showing cattle at nine years old. As he grew older, he started working cattle sales and doing custom cattle work. White attributed these experiences as what got him started in the show supply business in 1983. In two years, he will celebrate the 35th year of White’s Show Supply. White recalls his first few years at the expo in just a small 10’ x 10’ space in the old beef cattle barn. Not only has his booth space grown over the years, but also has his customer base. “The Expo has really helped with that,” he shared.
