The Manitoba AG EX kicks off this morning in Brandon.
The first event is the annual Taste of Beef, which will start at 11:30 am at the Canad Inns Roadhouse. Andre Steppler of Steppler Farms will share his experience of joining the world of purebred cattle in 1974, and becoming the third largest purebred charolais operation in Canada.
The cattle shows also start Wednesday at 11am in the Westoba Ag Centre, in the Keystone Centre.
The Manitoba Finals Rodeo will get underway Thursday night at 7pm in the Westman Place Main Arena and wrap up with the championship awards on Saturday night.
“This is a big event in the world of rodeo and we are very excited to have them back as part of Manitoba AG EX," said Ron Kristjansson, General Manager at the Provincial Exhibition of Manitoba. “One of my favourite parts of the finals rodeo is the Year End Champion awards handed out on Thursday night after the evening performance."
Other events include the Manitoba Superhorse 50/50, NAERIC Barrels of Cash, Hagan Performance & Ranch Horses, Fall Classic Ranch Sorting and the Manitoba Bucking Stock Futurity.
Admission to the daily shows and sales is free until 6 PM.
