After 116 years in one place, the Calgary Bull Sale is leaving the Stampede grounds and moving out of town.
The Century Downs racetrack northeast of Calgary will host the long running bull sale March 2 and 3, 2016. The event is sponsored by the Alberta Cattle Breeders Association.
The racetrack and casino opened last spring and is located near the Cross Iron Mills mall near the junction of Highway 2 and Stoney Trail in Rocky View County.
Replacement heifers and bulls will show on March 2 and the bulls sell the following day. A horse sale will be held March 3.
The Calgary Bull Sale is the longest running consignment bull sale in North America and is a benchmark for other bull sales across the prairie provinces.
