Hi everybody it's time for your Land and Livestock Report here on the Ag Information Network of the West-I'm Russell Nemetz.

Commercial Cattlemen will have two new events of interest to attend or participate in at the 2018 National Western Stock Show.

Held in the historic Stock Yards, the first event will feature exhibitors that will bring bulls in pens of five to 10 head presented and priced like ranchers would find them at a typical ranch sale. Bulls will be presented loose in pens and be priced for private treaty sale to commercial cattlemen attending. These bulls are not allowed to be washed or groomed once they arrive at the National Western Stock Show.

Health and brand papers will allow these bulls to transported anywhere in the nation. Several beef breeds will be represented.

The second event is sponsored in partnership with OriGen Genetics. Exhibitors can enter single bulls of any beef breed into this competition. The winning bull owner will be offered a one-year contract with OriGen Genetics where they will collect semen and offer a one page spread in their annual bull semen catalog all at OriGen's expense.

Additionally, the winning bull will earn a $1,000 cash prize. A panel of six judges who are established and reputable commercial cattlemen from across the country will evaluate this set of bulls. The bulls will be exhibited with no grooming and loose in pens as well. The events will be held Jan. 16-17.
