Welcome to the 2010 Miami International Agriculture & Cattle Show

The 3rd Annual Miami International Agriculture & Cattle Show (MIACS) stampeded into Miami on March 20, 2010, with hopes of corralling a crowd, interested buyers and a serious competition amongst breeders. 

More than 50,000 people attended the 2nd Annual Miami International Agriculture & Cattle Show (MIACS) held at the Ronald Reagan Equestrian Center at Tropical Park last year. (MIACS) drew potential buyers from 22 countries including Russia, Argentina, Brazil, Panama, and Colombia … and 400 head-of-cattle representing 12 breeds from 15 states including Florida, Georgia, Texas, Arizona, Arkansas, and Missouri … along with a whole lot of excitement!

When Miami-Dade County Commissioner Javier Souto created the concept of an International Agriculture & Cattle Show to promote Florida's largest industry which is agriculture and to promote Miami as the gateway to the United States for international commerce with Latin American and the Caribbean, a lot of people thought that this would not be possible. Miami has become the international conversation circuit for cattlemen and has emerged as world known figure for the Agricultural and Cattle exhibitions.

MIACS also drew the media attention of the Associated Press and dozens of media outlets picked-up the AP story about “Cows on the catwalk in Miami for agriculture show.”  The story was carried by USA Today.com, MSNBC, CNBC, Forbes, ABC News, CBS News, and major dailies such as The Washington Post, San Francisco Chronicle, Chicago Tribune.com, Star-Telegram.com (Dallas-Ft. Worth), the International Herald Tribune—the global edition of the New York Times—and even The Journal of Turkish Weekly based in Ankara, Turkey.  Media sponsor Univision Radio also heavily promoted the event throughout the Miami market.

Residents and visitors from as far away as London enjoyed three days of fun, sunshine, cool breezes, and even a little rain, as they toured the displays of more than 100 exhibitors of plants, flowers, fruits, and vegetables, along with informational booths hosted by experts on agriculture, gardening and landscaping—a dream event for lovers of fresh produce and horticulture, and industry professionals.  The public was also treated to arts and crafts vendors, roasted corn, grilled foods, ice cream, live bands, and more.  Meanwhile, kids of all ages couldn’t resist petting the dairy goats or learning how to milk them. 

From the Andalusian and Peruvian Paso horse shows, to the dog skills show and day-long cattle shows, there was something fun and worthwhile to engage everyone. 

We hope y’all had a great time, and we thank you for coming.  Now, come on back and see us again next year in 2010 … Ya hear!  We’d love to host you!
