Get to Know Sullivan Supply Show & Site Manager – Ohio: Katie Cull

Ohio Beef Expo is almost upon us, so it’s time to meet one of our own, Katie Cull. The Sullivan Supply Ohio Show & Site Manager has been with us since August 2018. Growing up in Nebraska, she showed registered Shorthorns for 17 years at local, state, and national levels. Her long history in the livestock industry has given Katie vast product knowledge in cattle and other species.

Katie Cull stated that she joined Sullivan Supply to give back to the industry that gave her so much in her youth. “Seeing the hopeful and excited youth joining the industry makes the job worth it. I love helping junior exhibitors and giving them the tools to be successful in the livestock industry. The livestock show industry is one unlike any other; as a youth growing up showing in it you never realize that your friendships would turn into lifelong connections. As I have begun my journey working in the livestock show industry I have loved that we get to be involved with those critical times in the lives of the youths. Working for Sullivan Supply is like working with your childhood friends that at one time you waited the year to spend a week with and now it is a daily interaction. This trickles into how I feel when I go to shows and events. The kids are building their own friendships and creating their own connections in the Livestock Industry. They are showing that hard work and dedication pays off both inside and outside the show ring. We get to experience the future of agriculture play out before your eyes. Junior National events have always been my favorite of the Livestock show industry events both as an exhibitor and now working for Sullivan Supply. These events are one week of competing; from contest to stock show u and then in the ring. Where else can your best friends also be the people driving you to be better?”


The Ohio Cattlemen’s Association BEST Program (Beef Exhibitors Show Total) is for Ohio junior beef exhibitors and runs from the first weekend in December to Ohio Beef Expo in Columbus, OH. The program rewards junior exhibitors for their accomplishments in the winter jackpot season. The individuals who started in the program in 1999, are now the parents who are bringing their children into the program. “The program is the BEST in the land, bringing healthy competition to Ohio. The awards they earn are only the tip of the iceberg to what they learn in sportsmanship, teamwork, and hard work, among many other things,” Katie noted.

With the end of the 2023 BEST season at Ohio Beef Expo this week, Katie Cull is excited to see what the exhibitors have earned through the past 15 weeks on the show circuit. Sullivan Supply will be at the Ohio Beef Expo for all the BEST needs for show supplies. The trailer and booth are located in the Voinovich Building near Cooper Arena. Stop by the Sullivan Supply trailer to greet Katie and her team. They are ready to see you and answer any questions you have. Good Luck Ohio Beef Expo Exhibitors!
