Ranching life will take centre stage in the city this week with two big annual events; the 78th Williams Lake Bull Show and Sale and the 25th annual Indoor Rodeo. The 78th annual Bull Show and Sale gets underway this Thursday, April 16 with the bull show starting at 1 p.m. at the stockyards. Wilf Smith, the regional manager for B.C. Livestock, says the show and sale is a big event in the ranching industry and he expects 130 bulls will be up for sale, giving ranchers a selection of breeds to choose from including Red and Black Angus, Hereford, Simmental and Gelbvieh. “This is the largest all-breed bull sale in B.C.,” Smith said, noting all bulls for sale are put through a soundness evaluation by a reputable cattleman and veterinarian before sale day. “Nothing but the best come here.” Three Hereford heifers from Sunnybrae Farms out of Salmon Arm will also be sold to the highest bidder at the event. And with cattle prices at an alltime high, sellers are expecting a good sale with bull prices running in the neighbourhood of $5,000 to $7,000, even as high as $12,000 per bull this year.
