65th Annual Tifton Bull Evaluation Sale - Location: UGA Bull Evaluation Center
About: Come and join us at the 65th Annual Tifton Bull Evaluation Sale where we'll have a competitive lineup of 70+ bulls cosigned by producers who are members of the Georgia Cattlemen's Association that are located here in Georgia and also in surrounding states. After testing for 84 days, this great selection of high-quality bulls have all passed breeding soundness exams, are genomic tested and parent verified, and after 84 days on test, averaged a daily gain of 4.67 lbs/day. Testing demonstrates individual performance difference in a uniform environment, provides breeders with a sound scientific basis for selecting bulls with the ability to gain weight rapidly, and serves as an educational demonstration of the value of records of performance.

Cowboy's at the Capitol: GCA's Legislative Steak Biscuit Breakfast - Atlanta, GA (the street between the capitol and the Coverdell office building)
About: The Annual GCA Legislative Steak Biscuit Breakfast works to get beef in the hands of Georgia Legislators and to reiterate the important role the cattle industry plays on our state's economy. We want to flood the capitol with boots and hats while our members visit with our elected officials and build real relationships with the folks that make the big decisions in our state. Legislative representation is one one of our association's utmost priorities, and we look forward to bringing grassroots representation to Atlanta for this year's Cowboys at the Capitol event! We would also like to give a BIG shoutout to the Little River Cattlemen's Association, Satilla Cattlemen's Association, Southeast Georgia Cattlemen's Association, and Northeast Georgia Cattlemen's Association for raising the money to cover the steaks for our biscuit breakfast!
