SUMMARY:The Northeast Tennessee Beef Expo / Master Beef Producer
DESCRIPTION:The Northeast Tennessee Beef Expo will bring cattle producers\, Extension specialists\, researchers\, and agricultural industry representatives together in Greeneville for beef production education\, networking\, and hands-on learning. \nThe 2026 Northeast Tennessee Beef Expo is scheduled for Thursday\, October 15\, at the Clyde Austin 4-H Center in Greeneville\, Tennessee. Alongside the event\, the Tennessee Master Beef Producer course will be offered October 15-16\, allowing producers to complete additional training and work toward Master Beef Producer certification. \n  \n \n  \nEducation for Northeast Tennessee Cattle Producers \nThe Northeast Tennessee Beef Expo has served cattle producers in the region since the late 1980s and has developed into a major annual educational and networking event. \nPrograms traditionally focus on practical topics affecting beef operations\, including cattle management\, herd health\, pasture and forage management\, farm profitability and other production issues. Producers also have opportunities to interact with Extension specialists\, researchers\, veterinarians\, agricultural businesses and other cattle producers. \nThe Greene County Extension office says the expo includes educational presentations by industry experts\, breed association representatives\, veterinarians and university specialists. A trade show is also part of the first day\, providing producers with an opportunity to learn about agricultural products\, services and resources available to beef operations. \nMaster Beef Producer Training Available \nProducers interested in additional education can participate in the Tennessee Master Beef Producer Program on Oct. 15 and 16. \nThe program provides instruction and hands-on learning in current beef cattle management practices with an emphasis on improving the profitability and sustainability of cattle operations. Participants also receive reference materials they can continue using after the course. \nAnother benefit is the opportunity to network with other producers\, Extension personnel\, university researchers\, and agricultural industry representatives. \nFarmers who complete the Master Beef Producer program earn certification.
