CattleCon 2026 is approaching and is set to be one of the most important gatherings for the cattle and beef industry in 2026. Held from February 3 to 5, 2026, at the Music City Center in Nashville, the event will bring together producers, processors, technology providers, and industry leaders from across the US.

It has become a central meeting point for conversations that matter to cattle operations today. From production economics and animal health to processing and market readiness, the event provides a setting where practical challenges and real solutions are discussed face-to-face.

The 2026 edition of CattleCon will focus on how cattle operations are adapting to increasing pressure on margins, rising input costs, and growing data requirements. Sessions and exhibitions throughout the event will cover topics that reflect the realities of modern cattle and meat production, including operational visibility, financial oversight, and long-term planning.

This annual gathering continues to serve as a forum for open discussion across the whole beef value chain, creating space for producers and industry partners to share experiences, lessons learned, and approaches that are working in the field today.

How Cattlytics Is Contributing to this CattleCon 2026

Cattlytics will be exhibiting at Booth #944 during CattleCon 2026 and will take part in event discussions focused on how technology is being used on ranches today. The team will be available throughout the event to speak with producers and operators about managing cattle operations with accuracy and consistency at the ranch level to the complete meat production cycle to the consumer.

Our platform brings together animal records, genetics, breeding and calving activity, health treatments, feeding data, weights, and performance history in one system. It supports tracking cattle from birth or arrival through each stage of ranch production.

By keeping on-farm data connected and current, Cattlytics helps ranch teams maintain reliable records and gain a clearer view of herd performance and day-to-day operations. This allows decisions to be made using current information rather than spreadsheets or disconnected tools, making Cattlytics a practical part of modern ranch management conversations at CattleCon 2026.

Live Cattle Chat Sessions

In addition to exhibiting, Cattlytics will take part in the Live Cattle Chat Sessions with a featured discussion.

This live conversation will explore how artificial intelligence is already influencing how cattle operations evaluate performance and profitability. Rather than focusing on theory, the session will highlight where AI is delivering measurable financial outcomes today, including feed efficiency analysis, health prediction, and cost modeling.

The discussion will be interactive and grounded in operational experience, offering attendees a clearer view of how data-driven approaches are being applied across different production stages.

The industry experts participating in this session include:

  • Danish Raza – Practice Director and Senior Product Manager, Folio3
  • Rob Terry – Sales Director, Folio3
  • Sheldon Bloom – Functional Consultant, Folio3
  • Harold Birch – Executive Vice President, UnCommon Farms

Together, the panel will discuss how operations are managing complexity across genetics, breeding programs, feedlot performance, processing data, and downstream commercial requirements, while keeping financial outcomes in focus.

Supporting the Full Cattle and Meat Production Lifecycle

Folio3 Agtech supports cattle and meat operations across the full production lifecycle, from genetics planning and breeding programs to feedlot operations, processing visibility, and preparation for meat commerce and ecommerce channels.

By connecting data across these stages, operations gain a clearer understanding of performance, costs, and outcomes as animals move through the system. This lifecycle based approach reflects how the industry operates in practice, where decisions made early in production directly affect downstream results.

At CattleCon 2026, Folio3 Agtech will highlight how this connected view of cattle and meat operations helps producers and enterprises make informed decisions across their business, while maintaining continuity between on farm activity and downstream operations.

Why the Cattle Industry Needs Automation Now More Than Ever

  • Ranch decisions today affect genetics, herd quality, and financial outcomes years down the line
  • Growth in herd size or program complexity increases the need for consistent, reliable records
  • Disconnected data makes it harder to understand what is working across breeding, health, and feeding programs
  • Timely visibility into herd performance supports confident decisions, not reactive ones
  • Automation helps capture accurate information as operations run, reducing reliance on memory or manual entry
  • Comparing performance across seasons, pastures, and management strategies supports continuous improvement

Meet the Cattlytics Team at Booth #944

Attendees are invited to visit Booth #944 to meet the Cattlytics team, view product demonstrations, and discuss how cattle and meat operations are managing data across production and commercial workflows.

The team will be available throughout the event for conversations with producers, processors, and industry partners who want to better understand how technology is being used today across cattle and meat operations.
