The agenda is now live for the 2026 North Carolina Cattlemen’s Association Annual Conference, happening February 20–21 in Hickory, NC.

This year’s theme, “Practical Management for Profitable Cattle Operations,” brings together top industry speakers covering the topics that matter most to the success and sustainability of beef operations across North Carolina.

Known as the largest cattle industry event in the Carolinas, the 74th Annual North Carolina Cattle Conference will feature an expanded trade show, an outstanding educational program, and opportunities to connect with producers from across the Southeast and beyond — all while highlighting youth, research, and the best of the beef industry.
