Dear friends,
Welcome to the 27th annual Kentucky Farm Bureau Beef Expo.
Kentucky Farm Bureau and the Kentucky Department of
Agriculture are proud to sponsor the premier beef cattle event in the
Commonwealth.
As a cattle producer myself, I fully understand the importance of
a strong genetic base in a successful cattle herd. At the Kentucky
Farm Bureau Beef Expo, you can upgrade your herd from some of
the best seedstock in the business. Young exhibitors also can select
project animals for the Kentucky Department of Agriculture’s 2013
show circuit.
The Kentucky Farm Bureau Beef Expo is highly regarded among
exhibitors, buyers, and sellers throughout the nation. Last year’s
Beef Expo grossed more than $1 million in sales with an average of
$2,192 per head. It featured 485 lots and 203 consignors from 15
states.
On Sunday, junior exhibitors from throughout the Midwest will
compete with some of the best show stock in the country. Last year’s
junior show featured 477 animals, including 138 from Kentucky.
The judging contest has grown into one of the top events of its kind
in the country, and we expect a great turnout again this year.
It all happens in one of the best facilities in the nation, the
Kentucky Exposition Center, with 1.2 million square feet of
enclosed, climate-controlled exhibition space.
As Kentucky’s Commissioner of Agriculture, I am pleased to wel-
come you to this great event. Please don’t hesitate to ask if my staff
or I can help you in any way.
Sincerely,
James R. Comer,
Commissioner of Agriculture
Commonwealth of Kentucky

Beef cattle are an intergral part of Kentucky agriculture.

Considering ever-increasing consumer demand for high-
quality and safe food, efforts to improve Kentucky’s beef cat-
tle industry are now more important than ever. The Expo

with the opportunity to obtain some of the best breeding
stock in the United States.

Bureau Beef Expo, and hope the many
valuable resources available here will

tion.
