It is our pleasure to invite you to the 21th Annual Ohio Beef Expo scheduled for March 14-16, 2008, at the Ohio Exposition Center in Columbus. The Ohio Beef Expo has long been the premier event for the Ohio beef industry and this year will continue that tradition.

This year the consignors are offering an outstanding set of sale cattle that are truly some of their best. The trade show for 2008 features the largest list of exhibitors in the history of the Ohio Beef Expo. The 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. There are many new exhibitors in this year’s trade show along with many familiar faces. The Genetic Pathway continues to grow in popularity with some of the industry’s leading sires and donor females on display.

The Ohio Beef Expo will close with the junior show, which continues to be one of the most competitive junior shows in the country. You won’t want to miss the showmanship competition Saturday afternoon or Sunday’s show. The Expo is truly a family weekend with many events for youth happening throughout the weekend. Be sure to check out page six for all the opportunities.

New for 2008, the Ohio Beef Expo will be hosting Educational Seminars in the sale rings on Friday and Sunday. Be sure to stop by and learn how you can improve your operation.

Be sure to stop by the OCA booth in the trade show and take the opportunity to renew your OCA membership and drop your name in the drawing for a chute from Priefert Equipment or a Mirafount waterer from Gallagher, which will be given away at the close of the show on Sunday. One lucky OCA County Affi liate will also be drawn as the winner of a set of scales courtesy of Tru-Test on Sunday.

Finally, we would like to take this opportunity to thank the many volunteers involved with the Ohio Beef Expo and all of the sponsors who have generously committed their resources to this event. Without you, we couldn’t pull it off!

Sincerely,
