More than 200 exhibitors will showcase their products and services to cattle producers across the state at the 36th Annual Cattle Raisers Expo during the Cattle Raisers Convention March 22-24.

“The Cattle Raisers Expo is all about making connections between buyers and sellers, companies and clients, and most of all between friends,” TSCRA President Joe Parker Jr. said. “Our expo is one of the premier agricultural events in the Southwest. At least 80 percent of our exhibitors come back every year to reach our members. They come ready to do business with cattle raisers.”

Exhibitors will showcase the latest in ranch equipment and management tools, western wear and jewelry.

Attendees can also learn more about different products and services including animal health products, animal identification, herd management, real estate, veterinary services, seed products and more. Meat cutting demonstrations, the Special Ranger Silent Auction and youth contests will also take place in the expo, as well as breakfast Saturday for all attendees. The Cattle Raisers Expo will run from noon to 7 p.m. March 22 and 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. March 23.
