Cattlemen Count on Nuflor
®
When even one calf is challenged with BRD, cattlemen reach for Nuflor
antibiotic, because they know it’ll work, and work fast. That’s what
makes Nuflor the best selling product of its kind in the world with more
than 60 million cattle treated.
Nuflor. The one cattlemen count on.
Talk to your veterinarian about Nuflor.
Do not use in female dairy cattle 20 months of age or older,
as use in lactating dairy cattle may cause milk residues. Not
for use in cattle of breeding age. Do not use for calves to be
processed for veal. Full product information found on page 17.

The One Cattlemen Count On

Dear Fellow Cattle Producers,
One of the best investments your cattle operation can make is to join us for the 2007

cattle producers, and includes the industry’s largest trade show—featuring the latest in
products and services that you won’t want to miss.
So be sure to join us this year in “Music City U.S.A.” to hear industry experts on beef
demand, international trade, property rights, animal identification, and other critical
issues. You’ll also have access to producer education sessions that can help you
maintain a stronger, healthier and more valuable cattle herd. This event is also a great
opportunity to get updates on all programs funded by the beef checkoff, and to provide
your own input to the committees managing these programs.
• “I brought back ideas and information, explained
programs, affected 6 other people in our business
and industry just at the ranch!”
• “Great place to network and see new
products/information.”

at this stage of the cycle? Do management strategies need to change? How
long will it take to regain lost market share in the global markets? How many
more years can cow/calf producers expect to remain profitable? Growing beef
demand was the key driver to record high prices and profitability during the last
several years, can this trend be maintained? What will keep beef competitive

people who saw Elvis perform many times and spent time on the road with him, the reviews and accolades are impressive:
•
“John, you are a great showman, this is one of the best shows I’ve ever seen!” —Kitty
Wells, Queen of Country Music, who toured with Elvis
•
“This show is fabulous! John is so talented and respectful of Elvis, you just have to see
it!”—Joanne Cash Yates (sister of Johnny Cash) and Harry Yates, Nashville Cowboy Church
•
“John’s tribute to Elvis is a compassionate as well as an educational experience…he’s got
the music and the moves down to a “T”…or should I say “E”…he looks and sounds just like
Elvis too. It’s a wonderful show I would highly recommend.”—Jim Hager (Performer from
Hee Haw)

Child’s Meal: $16.00 each (age 12 and under)
Be sure your plans include the closing night of this 2007 convention,
this will truly be a grand evening! Following a full course meal, join
us for a truly inspiring and unique program featuring Songwriters in
the Round. Would you love to know the “inside scoop” on why a
song was written and then became a #1 hit? We are lucky to have
three of the top Nashville country music songwriters performing for
us. Aaron Barker, Allen Shamblin, and Paul Overstreet will provide
a great evening of enjoyment. With close to 50 #1 hits between
them, they’ve been represented by artists such as George Strait,
Randy Travis, and Bonnie Raitt. Not only will they perform their hits
as they were originally written, but also provide you with some astounding insight into how each song was inspired and
eventually written. A true Nashville experience, this intimate look at “the stories behind the songs” is a magical combination
of music, humor and enlightenment.
For your dancing pleasure, we introduce Sonny Burgess, who grew up in the
sun-burnt town of Cleburne, Texas and was surrounded by the sounds and
realities that are traditional country music. In 2001, Music City Records
released his debut album, When In Texas, which produced four top-ten hits
on the Texas Music Chart. That brought him the first opportunities to play
venues such as the venerable Grand Ole Opry®, Nashville’s Fan Fair/CMA
Music Festival, The Wildhorse Saloon in Nashville and make his national
television debut on “Crook & Chase.” Now with his second album, Stronger,
Sonny recorded several songs by famous Nashville writers such as Aaron Barker, on Sonny's current radio
single “A Little Bit Stronger,” and another co-written by Paul Overstreet, “Anytime I’m Smiling”. Sonny has
recently been honored by having several of his songs selected by eight-time World Champion Roper Roy
Cooper, to be included on his DVD chronicling his life and times, including a song Sonny wrote, "Cowboy
Cool", as a tribute to Roy. With singles charting off the new album and music on a World Champion cowboy’s
legacy, "What Else Could Go Right"!
Don’t miss this spectacular night of great music, fun, fellowship and friends!
(Casual attire is suggested. A cash bar will be available.)

Economical Lodging
Register Smart
NCBA negotiates special room rates at official
convention hotels for all convention attendees. The
Best Western Inn is just $80.00 per night plus
tax—share a room with a friend and you would
each pay just $40.00 per night plus tax!
There are many ways to register. If you’re an NCBA
member, you pay less than non-members. If you
bring a guest or spouse, their registration is even
less. If your budget or time constraints keep you
from attending the entire convention, two-day
registration fees are available. Save money by preregistering before the January 5 deadline!

Hotel Reservation Information
Hotel Information
Reservation Deadline: January 5, 2007
Why Use the NCBA/Nashville Housing Bureau?
Using the NCBA/Nashville Housing Bureau will save you money and
time. NCBA has negotiated special room rates and room blocks in six
Nashville hotels to house convention attendees. These hotels have
been selected because they are the closest to the Gaylord Opryland®,
and are all suitable hotels. NCBA is financially contracted to these
hotels for housing all convention attendees. If you book a room
outside of NCBA’s official hotels, you put NCBA at risk for paying hotel
attrition fees for not filling the contracted room blocks, plus you lose
the benefits of staying in one of the official convention hotels. Those
exclusive benefits are:
• Special discounted room rates;
• Complimentary daily shuttle service Tuesday through Saturday;
• No hassle, easy-to-make hotel reservation process through
NCBA/Nashville Housing Bureau;
• Stay in same hotel with other convention attendees;
• Discounts on dining and shopping; and
• Support your NCBA organization.
Room Blocks
Blocks of ten or more rooms may be reserved initially under one
company name. A complete and final list of names must be submitted
to the NCBA/Nashville Housing Bureau on or before December 20,
2006, or the room block will be released (no reminders will be sent).
Any company/organization reserving a block of ten or more rooms will
also be required to sign an attrition agreement with NCBA. This
agreement makes the company financially responsible to NCBA in
case of cancellation of these rooms after the January 5 cut-off date.
Hospitality Suites
All requests for hospitality suites must be approved in advance by
NCBA. Please call the NCBA Convention Department (open Monday
through Friday, 8:00 am - 5:00 pm Mountain Time) at (303) 6940305 for suite types and rates.
How To Make Your Hotel Reservation
Important Instructions
Make your hotel reservation prior to the January 5 deadline on-line, by fax, mail or
telephone! Choose from any of the official hotels listed on page 22. Rooms are
assigned on a first-come, first-served basis by the NCBA/Nashville Housing Bureau. If
preferred choices are not available, a room will be secured at a hotel based on your
preference of rate or proximity. If all are sold out, a hotel will be assigned based on a
referral system determined by NCBA.
On-Line
Making your hotel reservation on-line is the best way, since you
can immediately select from available hotels and guarantee
your choice of hotel as you make your reservation. Visit our
web site at www.BeefUSA.org, and you will find a direct link to
the on-line housing request system (this is not an NCBA web
site). Please follow the instructions carefully. (You must use a
credit card to hold your reservation.) You may also re-visit the
site and make any necessary changes or cancellations to your
reservation.
Fax
Complete the Hotel Reservation Form on page 24, and fax it to
the NCBA/Nashville Housing Bureau at (615) 259-4126. (You
must use a credit card to hold your reservation.) Do not mail
the original form if you faxed it.

Nashville, TN 37219
Special Requests
If ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) special assistance is
required, please indicate this on the hotel reservation form (page
24) or notify the hotel holding your reservation. If you have other
special requests (i.e. floor location, or close to elevators) please
use the “Special Needs or Other Requests” area on the reservation
form or include a note to the housing bureau stating your needs. Special
requests cannot be guaranteed; however, hotels will do their best to honor all
requests. Hotels will assign specific room types upon check-in, based on
availability.
Hotels/Direct
You must use the NCBA/Nashville Housing Bureau. The hotels cannot process
reservation forms, and the special convention room rates are not available
through the individual hotels or their web sites. Requests made or sent directly
to the hotels will be refused. If you need to make additional hotel reservations,
copies of the form on page 24 are acceptable.
Room Deposit
All hotels require a one-night room and tax deposit to hold your reservation (if a
deposit is not sent with your reservation, it will not be processed). If you need to
send a check for this deposit, include it with your Hotel Reservation Form and
make it payable to “NCBA/Nashville Housing Bureau” for one night’s room rate
at your preferred hotel plus 14.25% tax. If you use a credit card to guarantee
your room, the credit card may not be processed until after January 5 at the
discretion of your assigned hotel. Hotel reservations must be received by
January 5.
Confirmations
The NCBA/Nashville Housing Bureau will send an acknowledgement of your
reservation by email (immediately, if email address provided), by fax (within 2
hours if fax number given) or by mail (within 10-14 days). Please check it for
accuracy. If you do not receive an acknowledgement within 14 days, please
contact the NCBA/Nashville Housing Bureau immediately. You will not receive a
confirmation from the hotel until approximately 1 week prior to your scheduled
arrival date. The hotels will not receive your reservation from the Housing
Bureau until after January 5 and some hotels may take as long as January 15
to enter all reservations into their system. So if you call your assigned hotel
directly, they may not have an actual reservation in their system under your
name until January 15.
Cancellations
Your cancellation frees up a room for another attendee, so please cancel your
reservation early if you will not be using it! There is no penalty for cancellations
received by the NCBA/Nashville Housing Bureau on or prior to December 20,
2006. Cancellations received by the NCBA/Nashville Housing Bureau after
December 20 will be assessed a $25.00 cancellation fee regardless of when
the initial room request was received (NCBA receives no part of this fee).
Cancellations may be mailed or faxed to be received by the NCBA/Nashville
Housing Bureau prior to January 10. Cancellations after January 10 should be
sent directly to your assigned hotel, and you will be charged the entire onenight’s room and tax deposit by the hotel. In addition, many hotels charge
early departure fees for guests departing earlier than their stated departure
date. To avoid this fee, be sure you give your correct departure date when you
check in at your confirmed hotel.
After the Cut-Off Date
If you need to make a hotel reservation after January 5, the NCBA/Nashville
Housing Bureau will continue to accept Hotel Reservation Forms until January
10. After January 10, NCBA encourages you to call the official convention
hotels, as the hotels will honor our special discounted rates and may have
rooms available. For a list of hotels and telephone numbers, call NCBA at (303)
694-0305 Monday through Friday between 8:00 am - 5:00 pm Mountain Time,
or check our web site at www.BeefUSA.org.
