North American International Livestock Exposition

From what I'm hearing, it's a beautiful structure, and the livestock world absolutely loves it.

The North American in Louisville, Kentucky, is getting a whole new renovation.

We will be in those new buildings next year in 2027.

So I suppose in order to keep up with things, the Alliant Energy Center has to look and figure out what they need to do.

You go to angusconvention.com to get, get yourself registered, but we'd love to see as many of you as possible.

Yeah, and, and I say going back to Louisville because for many that know, uh, the history of the Angus Convention and the Convention of Delegates would have been down at Louisville in conjunction with the North American.

And of course, some things have changed, uh, over the years, different format for convention.

Uh, North American's even a little different today, but, uh, we're looking forward to going back and be in conjunction.

The, the Angus shows will be going on over, uh, at the fairgrounds there, and so it'll be a great time, uh, uh, for folks to come together and do the business of the organization and the association, but also, uh, again, get over to the North American and take in the show.

And so we are looking forward to seeing Angus breeders there.

We're looking forward to the week that we have ahead, and I think you guys are gonna enjoy this podcast that we got to do in person with Clint and Lori Swanson.

I think it was three years for my brother also.

And then also, of course, North American, if you recall, I think it was more like in 1974 as it came about.

So it was kind of a change right in that area.

It's kind of hard to imagine, but I do recall the good and the bad.

Uh, of course, everybody else can tell you, but the North American is quite an, uh, exposition at this time, in my opinion.

You know, encompasses people throughout the country.

Absolutely.

And you're in a, you're in unique position because of you understanding, you know, Chicago and then, but also appreciating and respecting, you know, what's coming up, you know, the, the North American there in Louisville.
