The cattle are sold while on the farm with specific pick-up period defined in the sale catalog. Typical pick-up times range from one week to four months after the sale. Lots are typically sold in 48,000 to 50,000 pound load lots. However, smaller groups are encouraged as well. These sales may include

SEEDSTOCK SHOWS & SALES SALE CATTLE IDENTIFIED BY EID TAGS
All Ohio Beef Expo Sale Cattle will be identified with EID tags to comply with the USDA Animal Disease Traceability (ADT) rule for interstate shipment of cattle. This means that no matter what an individual state’s requirements for transporting cattle may be, potential Expo cattle buyers can be assured that they can easily ship their Expo purchases into any state. For more information contact the Ohio Beef Expo official veterinarian Dr. Eric Gordon at 937-642-2936 or see the 2022 Ohio Beef Expo health requirements at www.ohiobeefexpo.com.
BVD TESTS MANDATORY
All cattle (from Ohio and out-of-state) consigned to breed sales, show cattle, display breeds and Genetic Pathway cattle at the 2022 Ohio Beef Expo must be tested negative for Bovine Viral Diarrhea (BVD) persistent infection (PI) status prior to arrival at the 2022 event. Any animals (required to be tested) arriving at the Expo without a negative BVD PI test, will be ineligible to participate in the 2022 Ohio Beef Expo and will be excused from the show grounds. Type of test and negative test results must be listed on the required health certificate and/or laboratory report of negative status provided. Ohio Beef Expo junior show cattle are exempt from the BVD test requirement. (See 2022 Ohio Beef Expo health requirements at www. ohiobeefexpo.com).
6 | 2022 Ohio Beef Expo Program
TRICHOMONIASIS
Ohio has mandatory Trichomoniasis rules for all bulls entering Ohio from any other state. Virgin bulls under 24 months of age on the date of the sale must have a virgin statement on the CVI accompanied by the veterinarian’s and owner’s signature. Bulls 24 months of age or older on the date of the sale and all non-virgin bulls must have a PCR test within 28 days of the date of the sale. (See 2022 Ohio Beef Expo health requirements at www.ohiobeefexpo.com).
ADDITIONAL SALE CATTLE HEALTH REQUIREMENTS
Cattle in Ohio Beef Expo sales are sold into many different states and it is important that consignors keep this in mind when planning for the sales. The lot numbers of the animals that do not meet the Ohio Beef Expo health requirements will be announced prior to each breed sale. Health papers (CVIs) will NOT be issued for cattle that do not meet the Ohio Beef Expo health requirements. These health papers are typically written at the sale’s clerking table and accompany the cattle to the new buyer’s location. A list of the lots that do not meet the requirements will be available in the Beef Expo office by Friday at 2 p.m. For more information, go to www. ohiobeefexpo.com.
BUYER PARKING FRIDAY & SATURDAY, MARCH 18-19
For Friday and Saturday only, special trailer parking for Ohio Beef Expo sale buyers will be available on the main part of the fairgrounds just east of the O’Neill Barn where the sale cattle are located. To access the parking area, cattle trailers should enter the fairgrounds off of 11th Avenue at the OHIO gate. Avoid the hassle and long walk to get your trailer by parking on the grounds. This special trailer parking area is expected to fill up, so plan to arrive early.

FRIENDS OF THE EXPO PAM HALEY
Pam Haley has been nothing short of dedicated to the success of the Ohio Beef Expo over the past decade. Her commitment of countless hours to planning, organizing and executing this event has been a key element in ensuring the vitality of the Expo for several years and continues to be present today. Haley’s passion for the beef industry is not only seen in her involvement in the Expo, but is also recognized by her service to the Ohio Cattlemen’s Association where she has been on the board of directors since 2013. As the secretary and treasurer of the Ohio Simmental Association, she began her involvement in the Expo as the Simmental breed representative in 2011. Not long after, she took on the role of chairman of the breed committee in 2013. She then became the Ohio Beef Expo co-chairman together with J.L. Draganic in 2016. In her co-chairman position, Haley oversaw all facets of the Expo including the trade show, junior show and breeds’ activities and their respective committees. Following last year’s Expo, she decided to step down from the co-chairman position, but she remains active on the breeds committee and supports the Expo wherever needed. Haley alongside her husband, Mike, and two children operate Haley Farms in West Salem, Ohio. She has been around the beef industry her whole life as she recalls raising and showing cattle at the fair at a young age. Since then, her passion for the beef industry grew into her own operation where she currently manages a herd of 80 head of registered Simmental cattle. Haley believes that the success of the beef industry comes from all the facets involved within cattle production coming 16 | 2022 Ohio Beef Expo Program
together, especially this year coming out of the COVID-19 pandemic. “It is a team effort; whether it is seedstock breeders, the show industry or the businesses that help run our operations, we all need each other to survive.” she said. The success of the Expo has been a humbling experience for Haley, and she appreciates watching the event evolve from year to year. Haley enjoys watching the Expo unfold from the inside out, and her fondest moments are found when she sees people enjoying what the Expo provides for them and their operation. In 2019 as co-chairman, she was able to execute the largest Ohio Beef Expo to date, with record breaking numbers of cattle, exhibitors, visitors and vendors. “It was a lot of hard work, but it was so gratifying to see that so many people wanted to participate and be a part of what we do in Ohio’s beef industry,” Haley shared. She hopes for and anticipates more growth in the years to come. Haley cannot go without thanking her family for supporting her during the time she is away in preparation for the Expo. She also extends her gratitude to J.L. Draganic, in which she shares that it was a team effort for many years and that she would not have been able to do it without him.
J.L. DRAGANIC
J.L. Draganic’s fondness for the Ohio Beef Expo began almost 13 years ago while he was volunteering on the junior show committee. Those years were full of volunteerism as he has also served on the Ohio Cattlemen’s Association (OCA) board of directors since 2013 and as the Expo’s co-chair, along with Pam Haley, since 2016. Although he recently stepped down from the Expo co-chair position to allow for new leadership to take charge, he continues to support the Expo where needed. Draganic became involved in the beef industry at a young age. Through his involvement in the 4-H program, his passion for the agricultural industry bloomed while he raised steers and heifers. He and his family now have their own farming operation that includes both grain and livestock. Although Draganic cherishes all his years at the Expo, his most challenging and rewarding memory is 2021. “There were many complications in working with COVID-19 regulations while maintaining a rewarding experience for attendees,” he said. The word “gratifying” is used as he talked about how last year’s Expo provided industry enthusiasts with a sense of normalcy that they had not experienced since before the COVID-19 pandemic. He shared that the Expo has grown exponentially in numbers with added two day sales, the Buckeye Breeders Series and expansion of the trade show. Draganic mentioned the BEST program evolution with more junior participants at the Beef Expo over the years. He said, “The Expo has evolved to become one of the most sought after and respected shows across the country.” Draganic hopes his contributions will carry on to support the progress of the Expo. He believes it will continue to be the most valued beef industry event across the country. Draganic shared
that he “hopes other states will follow in our footsteps.” He believes the most prominent problem in the beef industry is the supply chain with processing facilities having issues with a lack of backups and trade. He trusts that dealing with problems head-on, although there is a long road to get there, is the best approach to managing ongoing issues in the industry. Draganic would like to thank Elizabeth Harsh and all involved in OCA for the support they have shown him over the years. He would also like to extend his appreciation to Pam Haley, his cochair, as her knowledge and support enhanced his experience.

STALLING PROCESS
No cattle or equipment are permitted on the Ohio Expo Center grounds prior to 7:30 a.m. on Wednesday, March 16. Beginning March 9 and ending March 11, exhibitors will have the opportunity to select their top three stalling preferences by filling out the online form. Exhibitors/breeders will be able to stall in groups or individually. All stalling forms will be time stamped, so submissions will get their first choice according to when the form was submitted online. There will not be an additional cost for these spaces. The last option is to stall when you get to the fairgrounds. This will allow exhibitors to stall in the remaining spaces at no extra cost. For more information on stalling please visit ohiobeefexpo.com or email Karigan Blue at kblue@ohiocattle.org.
ADDITIONAL INFO
There will be NO TENTS allowed in the Gilligan Building.
