Organizers with this year's Manitoba AG EX were pleased with the 2018 show, with close to 1,300 head of livestock and thousands of visitors coming through the Brandon's Keystone Centre during the four-day event which wrapped up on Saturday.
“Three national breed shows made our cattle show an outstanding success,” said Ron Kristjansson, general manager at the Provincial Exhibition of Manitoba. “Selecting the supreme breed champions in the opening ceremony of the Manitoba Finals Rodeo performance was especially fitting and a great tribute to all the hard work the cattle exhibitors put in for this show.”
Manitoba AG EX Co-Chair Dallas Johnson has been involved with this event for a number of years.
"Four or five years ago, this show had 300 head of cattle and now we are hosting close to 800 head...We have exhibitors from Quebec to British Columbia and families we haven’t seen in years; that makes for a really great show.”
Manitoba Superhorse Show and Sale Organizer Julie Bridgman noted that over $30,000.00 in cash and prizes were awarded in the futurity.
Results for the cattle shows and rodeo events are available at www.manitobaagex.com.
Next up for the Provincial Exhibition of Manitoba will be the Royal Manitoba Winter Fair, March 25 - 30, 2019.
