Overby Stock Farm from Ste. Rose has been attending the Western Canadian Agribition for nearly 20 years, and for the first time, they're coming home with a win. Owner Neil Overby says it's a great feeling for all of their hard work to pay off.
"We actually ended up having National Champion Balancer Bull. For people that don't know, Balancer is a trademark used by the Canadian and American Gelbvieh Associations for registered hybrids between Gelbvieh and Red or Black Angus Cattle."
Overby says the bull needs to range from 25% to 75% Gelbvieh, with the other percentage being registered Angus.
"We had been mainly taking purebred Gelbvieh cattle, and we've branched off into the Balancer thing a little bit the last couple of years."
Agribition is the largest livestock show in all of Canada, with competitors from across North America traveling to Regina for the event. Agribition also sees visitors from across the globe, hosting over 1,250 international guests from over 86 countries.
