February 6th - February 8th, 2026
Come celebrate with us at the DTBA’s 30th Annual Conference & Celebration!
We’ve hit a big milestone, and we want you there as we honor three decades of DTBA history, progress, and the incredible people who’ve built this community along the way.
We will have a super engaging “Range to Rail” Speaker Panel—a group of folks who live and breathe this industry. They’ll walk us through what best practice looks like from their own perspective: choosing the right animals to build strong production herds, managing cow/calf operations, running successful feeder programs, and what today’s processors and marketers are really looking for. It’s practical, it’s down-to-earth, and you’ll walk away with plenty of good moments.
After that, we’ll head over to the animal venue for lunch, where you’ll see fun nods to DTBA and NDBA history—and a peek at where we’re headed next. And keep your eyes open… we will have games with big prizes that you won’t want to miss!
All of this leads up to what we’re most excited about: shining a spotlight on our amazing show & sale animals and the consignors who brought them. You’ll get to admire some of the best production breeding stock in the business—our Girlz Gone Wild Bred Heifers and the Black Hills Buffalo Thunder Premier Bulls—all ready to head to their new homes by the end of the day.
It’s going to be a fun, meaningful, and memorable 30-year celebration. We’d love to have you there!
