The 2025 Ohio Beef Expo, hosted by the Ohio Cattlemen’s Association (OCA), will take place March 13 - 16 at the Ohio Expo Center in Columbus, Ohio.
OCA invites you to join in an evening of networking with fellow cattlemen and industry leaders at the pre-Expo event, The Social, on Thursday, March 13, 7:30 p.m. at the Hilton Columbus/Polaris. The Social is open to OCA membership, Expo cattle and trade show exhibitors and volunteers. It’s free to attend and will include appetizers and drinks.
The Social will host a live auction with proceeds benefiting OCA’s Political Action Committee (PAC) fund to support ag-friendly candidates in the next election. Auction items will include cattle prints from C.J. Brown, clippers, OSU football tickets and other collectables.
In addition, the Social will feature live music by Dalton & Delaney. An acoustic duo from Ohio, Dalton & Delaney met in 2022 in the National FFA Talent Program. They realized they both shared a love for music and decided to start their own duo. Dalton and Delaney are no strangers to the agriculture industry as they both grew up heavily involved in 4-H and FFA.
Delaney lives on a farm in Fairfield County where she and her family raise beef cattle and are members of OCA. She has participated in the OCA BEST Program for many years where she has enjoyed showing cattle, competing in the stockmanship program, and promoting the beef industry. Delaney recently completed a year of service as the 2023-2024 Ohio FFA State Vice President. She is currently attending The Ohio State University majoring in agricultural communications.
Dalton resides in Darke County where he is currently a loan originator working with farmers on agricultural lines of credit and farm loans. He recently obtained his associate degree in banking and is looking forward to earning his bachelor’s degree in business administration. Dalton has performed in several bands and enjoys writing his own music.
