At the 2023 Cattlemen’s Congress trade show, Associate Farm Editor, Reagan Calk visited with Kay Knight of Kay Knight Designs located in Mason, TX. Knight talks about her experience as a vendor in the Cattlemen’s Congress trade show.
Knight had her booth set up at last year’s trade show at Cattlemen’s Congress and said it was one of her best shows of the year, if not the best.
“It was a great show- there are a lot of people here,” Knight said. “You figure if you have got 10,000 head of cattle, how many people are here to support 10,000 head of cattle? It is a bunch of people.”
As Cattlemen’s Congress is known for bringing in people from all over the U.S., Knight said she has already visited with customers from states such as Pennsylvania and Alabama.
“They come from everywhere,” Knight said. “They have to, to have 10,000 head of cattle here.”
The reason the trade show at Cattlemen’s Congress stands out from other shows Knight has been in, she said, is because of the high rate of sales she receives from visitors.
“I sell a high-end product, and it takes a certain buyer to appreciate what we have and be willing to buy it,” Kay said. “We have found a market for it here in Oklahoma City with Cattlemen’s Congress.”
Knight said she sets up her booth in many different trade shows throughout the year, and Cattlemen’s Congress remains one of her favorites.
“I have to say this is the best, well-organized show we have ever been to,” Knight said.
The individuals in charge of organizing and running the trade show, Knight said, help vendors unload their products and put their booths together upon arrival.
“They are awesome,” Knight said. “They gave us a fantastic location- we love it here. If all the shows ran that well, it would be really nice, but unfortunately, that is not the case.”
