Bull sale and horse program today Ag Show in Evergreen Park

Mar 8, 2024 | 7:43 AM

The 38th Foster’s Peace Country Classic Agri Show continues at Evergreen Park.

The highly anticipated annual Northern Classic Bull Sale also goes today.

Colby Klassen of Willow Creek Simmentals says their farm alongside JayDawn Farms will have 90 bulls for sale.

“It’s always hard to gauge on kind of how things are going, but there definitely is a couple feature bulls that come out of both our programs.”

“We run an embryo program and kind of a couple full brothers that are hopefully going to cause make a little bit of a stir. “

Klassen says with increased cattle pricing since last Fall, he’s hoping it carries into the sale.

“It just gives everybody, finally some enthusiasm to the cattle business that after some tough years, it makes things definitely feel a lot more enthusiastic.”

The Bull Sale goes at 1 p.m at the Drysdale Arena.
