The American Cattle World Expo is founded and managed by ranching families, for ranching families. More than a cattle show, the American Cattle World Expo is a comprehensive experience shaped by decades of breeding and exhibiting champions, international cattle marketing, global genetic consulting, and judging at the world’s largest fairs and expositions.

The American Cattle World Expo places its highest priority on exhibitors rather than solely on the exhibits themselves. While breeding and showcasing elite livestock remains essential, we believe the greatest value lies in connecting ranching families across breed registries and extending those relationships to international cattlemen worldwide.

At the American Cattle World Expo, we emphasize family values, educational opportunities, friendly competition, innovative technology, and the shared mission of connecting the world through agriculture.

The first-ever American Cattle World Expo will be held August 31 – September 4 at the historic Will Rogers Memorial Center complex in Fort Worth, Texas.

“Hosting the American Cattle World Expo in Fort Worth has been a dream of mine for many years,” Judd Cullers of Heritage Cattle Company said. “With decades of judging international livestock shows, Gayla and I have experienced the very best in hospitality around the world — well-organized events and truly family-friendly activities.”

The event will highlight the best of American cattle breeds, including Brahman, Beefmaster, Braford, Brangus, Simbrah, Longhorn and Santa Gertrudis, with both open and junior shows.

“The cattle show itself will be one to watch as we highlight the nation’s top breeders competing for premier honors,” Cullers said. “Each evening will provide special opportunities to connect and socialize with fellow breeders — from our Welcome Dinner to the American Breed Heifer Showcase Sale and an exciting night at the world-famous Fort Worth Stockyards enjoying a Professional Bull Riders event.”

This year, the show will have a special presentation honoring the cattlemen of Mexico, who have been an essential part of the cattle industry. For generations, breeders from Mexico have played an integral role in the success of American cattle breeds.

“Our goal is to bring together international cattlemen and U.S. breeders for one unforgettable week showcasing the very best of the American cattle breeds,” Cullers said. “We have an outstanding week planned for the hundreds of visitors attending, including a trade show featuring the latest and most innovative agricultural products. In addition, we will host a two-day conference with keynote speakers addressing important industry-related topics.”
