The Annual Tri-State Beef Conference will be held at the Ron Ramsey Regional Ag Center in Blountville, Tennessee on August 4, 2026.

This year’s conference will feature educational sessions designed for both stocker and cow-calf producers, highlighting key topics on herd health, management decision making, and new technologies in cattle operations. Additional sessions will include an NCBA Update and Family Farming Success, Cull Cow Marketing and Heifer Retention, and Tax Considerations when the Market is Good.

In addition to the educational program, attendees will have the opportunity to visit the tradeshow featuring vendors from across the region showcasing their products and services they have available to assist producers with their cattle production needs. The conference provides an excellent opportunity for producers to network with industry leaders, University Extension, and fellow cattle producers.

The conference is being held in collaboration with the University of Tennessee Extension, Virginia Cooperative Extension, and North Carolina Cooperative Extension. Registration for the conference is $25 through July 25th and $40 thereafter, and includes a steak lunch. Registration and tradeshow begin at 8:00 a.m., with the program starting at 9:00 a.m.

Registration details are available through your Local Extension Office.
