Cattlemen's Congress Events
Celebrate the Angus breed’s elite herdsmen and contribute to the Angus Foundation's mission of education, youth and research.
Herdsman Social — Cattlemen’s Congress 2026
Join us Friday evening during the Cattlemen’s Congress in Oklahoma City for the much-anticipated Herdsman Social—an Angus Foundation tradition. Held at the Cattlemen’s Bar on the Oklahoma State Fairgrounds, this event kicks off shortly after the conclusion of the National Angus Bull Sale (typically around 5 p.m.).
It’s an evening of camaraderie and community among Angus breeders and industry supporters. Enjoy light refreshments, participate in exciting auction and raffle opportunities that support the Angus Foundation’s efforts in youth, education, and research—and witness the announcement of the 2026 Angus Herdsman of the Year. This free event is a highlight for exhibitors and attendees alike, blending industry prestige with philanthropic spirit.
The event will take place January 9th, 2026 at 5 p.m. in the Cattlemen’s Bar.
