We’re excited to officially introduce the Indiana Dairy Beef Association (IDBA)! Here’s what’s coming for 2026 ⏬
IDBA is Indiana’s nonprofit association for dairy beef. Built to serve families, youth, breeders, and producers who believe in dairy beef’s vital role to Indiana’s economy and commodity markets, and its proven impact as a show project.
👉 Our Mission
Strengthening Indiana’s dairy beef community by advancing ‘The Dairy Beef Advantage’ through advocacy, education, working relationships with state organizations and associations, responsible stewardship, and support for youth and producers in achieving excellence.

• Release research-based dairy beef breed phenotype standards. Coming soon!
• Plan statewide member education.
• Build strong relationships with state and community legislators and other Indiana ag associations (including Indiana Beef and Indiana Dairy).
• And many more exciting opportunities in the future. 😉
🏆 Circuit News
• IDBA will now be the host organization for the Indiana Junior Dairy Beef Circuit (formerly the Indiana Dairy Beef Show Circuit).
