CattleCon 2025: A Can’t-Miss Event for Future Agricultural Leaders

CattleCon 2025 is being called a can’t-miss event for future agricultural leaders. Rusty Halvorson has more information on how FFA and 4-H members can get free admission.

CattleCon 2025 is heading to San Antonio, Texas, from February 4-6, and it’s shaping up to be the biggest cattle industry event of the year. Future agricultural leaders, especially FFA and 4-H members, have a special opportunity to experience this massive event with free trade show admission on Thursday, February 6, courtesy of Culver’s and Nationwide Insurance.

FFA and 4-H members can enjoy a full day of activities, networking, and education at no cost. The first 250 members from each group who register will receive complimentary Thursday NCBA Trade Show admission. For FFA members and alumni, there’s also the Culver’s Blue Jacket Social—a gathering to connect, share stories, and build lasting relationships in the agricultural community.

The NCBA Trade Show spans over nine acres, featuring the latest advancements in cattle industry technology, equipment, pharmaceuticals, and feed supplements. It’s more than just a showcase—this event offers practical solutions and innovations for producers of all kinds.

Attendees can dive into learning opportunities right on the trade show floor. The Learning Lounge provides informal, face-to-face talks in a relaxed setting, while the Stockmanship & Stewardship Demonstration Arena offers hands-on demonstrations of low-stress cattle handling, facility design, and industry updates.
