During the 2026 Tennessee Junior Beef Expo, held in Lebanon, Tenn., the Tennessee Cattlemen’s Association (TCA), with the generous support of industry partners, purchased three show steers at premium prices to support Tennessee youth and give back to families in need. Following the expo, the cattle were harvested and processed. The resulting beef will be donated to Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee, providing more than 2,600 pounds of high-quality beef to help feed families throughout the region. This initiative provides a meaningful opportunity to recognize the hard work and dedication of Tennessee’s youth livestock exhibitors while also making a lasting impact in the community. By turning award-winning livestock into nutritious food, TCA and its industry partners are able to support the next generation of agricultural leaders while providing a valuable source of protein to families facing food insecurity.
We are proud to partner with TCA and support this initiative!
