Farmfair International

WOW!

The quality at Farmfair International in Edmonton this past week was OUTSTANDING.

I can honestly say that the cattle in the barns were nothing short of impressive. Many visitors commented on the depth of quality in the shows. Saturday afternoon saw the best of every breed compete for the big prizes and money in the Supreme and Legends of the Fall shows, and for the first time ever both the Supreme Bull and Supreme Female came from the same exhibitor -- Garth and Angela Rancier, Rancier Farms of Killam AB. Congratulations!!!

Lloydminster Stockade Roundup '08

Lloydminster hosted another first-class Stockade Roundup!

LivestockXchangeOnline.com had the pleasure of sponsoring at the event -- congratulations to Hopewell Charolais and McIntosh Livestock on winning the two $500 gift certificates to advertise on the site!

Exhibitors brought out a phenominal set of cattle and the Supreme Show lineup included several bulls and females that will likely be in the hunt all fall. Supreme Champion Bull went to SAV Wall Street 7091, owned by Serhienko Cattle, Michelson Land & Cattle, Gerrard Livestock and Poley-Hall Partnership. The Supreme Champion Female was won by LLB Lady Burgess 499R & AFA 362U, owned by Justamere Ranches.

Check out the champion photos at ChampionsOnline.com.

In the multi-breed calf jackpot shows, Payne Livestock's Limousin bull calf took home one buckle and Northline Angus' Black Angus heifer calf received the other.

Congratulations to all the exhibitors, and thank you to the Stockade staff and directors for all of their hard work!
