The Virginia Beef Expo is a non-profit corporation founded in 1988 for the purpose of promoting quality beef cattle and the Virginia beef industry. The Expo offers something for the entire family. The cattle sales feature quality genetics that can improve and help grow any herd. Our industry trade show features vendors from across the Mid-Atlantic region providing a venue to learn about new products and technology within the beef industry. The Expo also encourages the development of youth involved in the cattle industry through not only beef cattle shows, but educational, cooking and cattle handling contests. The Expo is home to the State Youth Stockman’s, State Youth Cattle Working, and State 4-H and State FFA Tractor driving contests.
