As we continue our commitment to making Cattlemen’s Congress the most elite cattle show in the industry, we are proud to announce the formation of an Advisory Committee made up of producers and breed representatives from across the country. This dedicated group will play a crucial role in helping us plan, execute, and enhance the show each year to better serve the cattlemen and cattlewomen who make it all possible.

“As we look to the future—especially with new, elite facilities on the horizon—we recognize the opportunities to strengthen our position as the premier cattle show,” said Jennifer Callahan, Cattlemen’s Congress Board Secretary/Treasurer. “Yet with each new endeavor come challenges, and it is our goal to work alongside producers to ensure Cattlemen’s Congress remains the most exhibitor-friendly event possible. We are honored to have these industry leaders on our Advisory Committee and their expertise and insight will be invaluable in guiding us forward.

Advisory Committee Members:

Gary & Kathy Buchholz, Donnie Robertson, Matt Sims, Jirl Buck, Chad Breeding, Andrew Foster, Charlie Boyd, Travis Pembrook, Jonathan Perry, Chan Phillips, Tyler Cates, Barry Nowatzke, Kyle Colyer, Brett Barber, Kirk Steirwalt, Bruce Lawrence, Tim Schaeffer, Kevin Herzog, Darrel Pitchford, Lily Judd, Kali Ellis, Monte Soules, Ty Bayer

With the support of this committee, Cattlemen’s Congress remains steadfast in its mission to elevate the show experience and provide cattle producers with the best possible platform to showcase and market their genetics.

We are also thrilled to announce that the 6th Annual Cattlemen’s Congress will take place January 4-15, 2026, in Oklahoma City. As we continue to innovate and enhance our facilities, we are committed to maintaining our status as the premier cattle show in the industry.
