DENVER, Colo. — Express Ranches of Yukon, Oklahoma, had the grand champion Angus bull yesterday at the National Western Stock Show in Denver.
The reserve went to Hoffman Ranch of Thedford, Nebraska.
Canadian entrants were not high in numbers but made a respectable showing with the reserve junior champion bull from Vos Vegas Farms of Plainfield, Ont., Eby Cattle Co. of Emporia, Kansas, and Chance Greene of Powell Butte, Oregon.
A first place nod went to Justamere Farms and Duane and Carmen Hanson of Lloydminster, Sask., and Shandar Angus Ranch of Utah.
At the Limousin show, also held yesterday, the Papenhuyzen family of Cottage Lake Livestock near Stony Plain, Alta., won a division reserve championship for a bull calf they own with Marjon Farms of Earl, Indiana, and Weis Limousin Ranch of Wellsville, Missouri. The bull was sold to the new partners at Denver Tuesday.
The National Western Stock Show runs from Jan. 10-25.
Hereford bulls show today and the heifers show Saturday. Angus heifers are exhibited tomorrow.
