Beef Ring Schedule

Howdy!

The Western Bonanza is quickly approaching and the Beef Show Committee is working hard to make sure all the details are in order.
Here is the 2011 Beef Show schedule for you to look over. You will notice that not many changes have been made from previous years. However, as we have mentioned, the Beef Committee is excited about a new show ring set-up and class check-in procedure. They hope that these subtle changes will allow the show to run even smoother!
If you want to see the complete livestock show schedule for all the species or want more Western Bonanza details, visit our website!
