After experiencing the biggest cattle industry event of the year, CattleCon 2026 attendees are encouraged to stay a little longer to see Tennessee cattle country firsthand. Tours on Friday, Feb. 6, including a Grazing Management Workshop & Tour and Agricultural Tour, are available to add onto CattleCon 2026 registrations.
The immersive Grazing Management Workshop & Tour at Red Hill Farms in Lafayette, Tennessee, sponsored by Envu, will focus on practical grazing solutions including cover crops, winter feeding and cattle nutrition. Farm owners Sarah and Bart Jones will host the group, joining University of Tennessee genetics expert Dr. Troy Rowan for a discussion on adapting cow herds to their environment. The event will wrap up with speakers discussing tech-based resources. Each attendee will receive a Grazing Management Workbook, allowing the opportunity to craft a personalized grazing plan, while better understanding the key components within it.
Deer Valley Farm in Fayetteville, Tennessee, where tradition meets innovation in cattle production, will host the full-day Agricultural Tour. Knowledgeable staff will share insights into the farm’s operations, including breeding practices, pasture management and herd care. Guests will observe various areas of the farm and have the opportunity to ask questions throughout the tour. Attendees will also have the chance to view penned cattle and engage with Deer Valley’s team, including their herd manager and local representatives. This tour offers a unique behind-the-scenes look at one of the country’s premier Angus operations.
Both tours include transportation and lunch. The Grazing Management Workshop & Tour is $150/person, and the Agricultural Tour is $200/person, and space is limited. Tours can be added to existing registrations or included during the registration process, based on availability.
A variety of CattleCon 2026 registration options are available, and all include Cattlemen’s College education sessions and demonstrations. For more information and to register, visit convention.ncba.org.
