DENVER, COLO. (Jan. 22, 2016) — The spring 2016 season of Cattlemen to Cattlemen, the television show produced by the National Cattlemen's Beef Association (NCBA), will kick off from San Diego, Calif., Tuesday, Jan. 26, at 8:30 p.m. EST on RFD-TV. This special event show will give viewers an exclusive, inside look at the Cattle Industry Convention and NCBA Trade Show and will feature an industry update from Philip Ellis, NCBA President and Wyoming rancher.
“Cattlemen to Cattlemen is one of the best ways our association can connect with farmers and ranchers today,” said Marvin Kokes, NCBA senior vice president of Industry and member services. “We are very proud of the value this quality television show brings to the entire beef industry.”
This year NCBA’s Cattlemen to Cattlemen celebrates 10 years of premium television content designed specifically for beef producers across the country. The show debuted in February of 2007. It was created by cattlemen for cattlemen to deliver industry news, producer education, policy updates from Washington, D.C., and more. NCBA started the show on RFD-TV as a 30-minute, weekly show. Since then the show has successfully evolved into 60 minutes each week, with debut episodes on Tuesdays at 8:30 p.m. EST and re-airs on Wednesdays at 12:30 a.m. and Saturdays at 9:00 a.m.
“This television show truly offers unique topics, educational value that producers can use, production quality and variety,” said Kokes. “We work every day to tell the story of America’s beef producer and to give them information to help them be more successful.”
In fall 2016, NCBA's Cattlemen to Cattlemen will reach another milestone, airing its 500th weekly episode. Other special highlight shows for this season include an NCBA membership benefit show; a Washington, D.C., policy and election overview sho;, market updates; new producer profiles; features on the latest in ranch and farm equipment; plus land stewardship and livestock handling tips.
