No Bull, Miami Is the Place to Be!
The Miami International Agriculture and Cattle Show promises to be the hotest ticket in town when it opens March 20 and runs through March 22 at the Ronald Regan Equestrian Center at Tropical Park.
This is the second year Miami-Dade County has hosted the agri-business event which drew a larger than expected crowd of 20,000 last year. Attendees hailed from several countries including Brazil, Costa Rica, Guatemala and Ecuador. All came to see what our state's breeders and producers have to offer.
Florida's livestock and agricultural products took center stage when some seventy breeders participated as well as numerous equipment manufacturers and ag producers. The show received international acclaim and is now slated to become an annual event.
This year's show promises to be even larger and Florida's diverse agriculture products will once again be showcased. A variety of beef cattle breed shows are planned for the following breeds: Angus, Brangus, Hereford, Limousin, Santa Gertrudis, Shorthorn and Simmental. In addition, an ABBA sanctioned Brahman show will also be held.
Equestrian activities are scheduled including a Peruvian Horse Show and a South Florida Reining Horse Association demonstration. And a wide variety of vendor displays featuring breeding and genetics technology, equipment and services will round out an impressive array of exhibits.
