MATE Bull Pen Preview
2023 MATE Bull Pen Exhibitors
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, the 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
There will be two sizes of pens offered. A 12′ x 12′ pen (max capacity is 3 head of yearlings) or 12′ × 24′ pen (max capacity is 6 head of yearlings). Herd sires or other aged bulls are allowed as long as they are comfortable being around people and being penned up while on exhibit. Space is limited! Pen assignments will be done on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Again this year we will be offering two $300 gift certificates for Bull Pen attendees. All attendees will be encouraged to fill out an address form, from which we will draw two names out to receive the gift certificate that can be used to buy a bull from our Bull Pen exhibitors within the next 12 months.
