OCA held its annual meeting Feb. 1 at the Hilton Polaris Hotel

The Ohio Cattlemen's Association (OCA) held its Annual Meeting and Awards Banquet on Feb. 1, 2025, at the Hilton Polaris Hotel in Columbus. Cattlemen and women from across the state gathered to engage in important association business, hear updates from many industry partners and recognize the recipients of several prestigious industry awards.

The event was made possible by the following sponsoring partners: Ag Credit, Heartland Feed Services, Foster Farms, Austin & Lindsey Cole & family and Nexus Marketing.

The day started with the launch of the new Ohio Beef Youth Council (OBYC). The council is a youth education initiative created to serve the families and youth of Ohio's beef industry and invest in the next generation of industry leaders. This initiative, funded by the Beef Checkoff Program and OCA, will provide youth with the tools to become more effective industry leaders and inspire them to continue their engagement in Ohio's beef industry as adults. The eight youth leaders for the council unveiled the OBYC structure, its first programs and recognized council sponsors Bonnie Coley Malir and Rick Malir, the founders of City Barbeque.
