SCCA Bull Bonanza in Edgar February 4

If you want to see bulls on Main Street and do not want to travel to Pamploma, Spain--- then you can simply travel to Edgar, NE on Saturday, February 4. No they will not be running down the street - but instead safely confined in pens. The South Central Cattlemen Association is holding their fourth annual Bull Bonanza or Bulls on Main Street. Pens of bulls will line the street featuring consignments of bulls from cattlemen from across the south central Nebraska region. Display times will be from 10:30 a.m. through 3:30 p.m.
The Bull Bonanza will provide an opportunity for area cattlemen to showcase their bulls! It also provides the opportunity for the public and potential bull buyers, from south central Nebraska and beyond, to view a very nice selection of area raised bulls of various breeds and ages. They can also visit with the cattlemen about their breeding/genetics program and their cattle, or perhaps discuss issues concerning the beef industry. Attendees can also register for a nice array of door prizes to be given away during the day. There will be a lunch available for guests at noon.
It is a nice venue to have representation of the best beef genetics in the area all in one place so you can go from pen to pen and analyze the breeding and production potential of each bull. You can just come and look, talk to the cattlemen and of course if you find the “right one”, the bulls are for sale. The season for selecting next year’s bull is upon us and this is a great opportunity to get a head start. It will also be interesting for 4-H and FFA youth and the public to see the genetics that are available in south central Nebraska all in one place and talk to the cattlemen and families that raise them.
There is still time if interested cattlemen would like to consign their bulls to the event. A registration form and entry fee is required by January 30.
