There are more cowboy hats and boots in Houston than usual this week as thousands of cattle producers, industry partners and stakeholders have gathered for the 2022 Cattle Industry Convention & NCBA Trade Show.

“This is the first time Houston has hosted convention,” said National Cattlemen’s Beef Association President Jerry Bohn of Kansas. “We’re going to have 5-6,000 people here in Houston.”

Over the next few days convention participants will gain insights on market trends during the CattleFax Outlook Seminar, hear a “State of the Industry” update from NCBA, learn about the beef business climate around the world, and wander through the NCBA Trade Show – the industry’s largest, with more than 350 exhibitors on nearly 10 acres under one roof.

Bohn says 2021 started off slowly because of the COVID restrictions that were still in place, which led to last year’s convention being postponed until August. “The last two to three quarters of the year opened up and we were able to travel quite a bit more,” said Bohn, who adds that NCBA had a number of wins for the industry in 2021.
