MATE Bull Pen Preview

1 of 5

The Bull Pen Preview presented by the Northern Ag Network and KGHL offers tremendous exposure to breeders wishing to promote their genetics and program to commercial and registered producers. Live bulls from local producers are displayed for potential buyers to evaluate the composition of the bulls. Passerby's can see for themselves the breeding traits of programs, purchase a bull right then and there, or get information about upcoming sales. Several different ranches have preview pens this year. See the list of 2020 exhibitors below.

Cattle are allowed into the pens for all three days of the show. It is not required that cattle be there all three days, however, a majority of the commercial type producers historically attend on Thursday and Friday. The pens are available as early as Thursday morning and until 12:00 pm on Saturday afternoon. This is not a haltered exhibit, but an opportunity for Bull Pen Exhibitors to visit with potential customers face to face and for them to view the cattle.

While your looking through the pens of bulls, don't forget to VOTE for what you believe is the best pen of bulls! The exhibitor that wins the popular vote will win 10 units of semen from Select Sires (winners choice, pending availability) and five (5) tickets for the NILE Raffle Filly. That's not all! Those that voted for the winning pen are also put into a drawing to win three (3) tickets to the Raffle Filly. Winners announced on Friday, February 18 at 5 p.m..

Another great GIVEAWAY opportunity for MATE guests is sign up for their chance to win one of two $300 gift certificates toward the purchase of a bull from any of the breeders exhibiting at the MATE Show!
