Manitoba Ag Ex Returns To Brandon

The Provincial Exhibition of Manitoba is bringing Manitoba Ag Ex back to the Keystone Centre in Brandon starting Wednesday.

"It's been a long time since we've had an event. Everybody is excited to come because it's been a long time since people have gotten together," said Dallas Johnston, co-chair of the Manitoba Ag Ex committee. "In the cattle business, you're always looking forward to showcasing what you're raising at home and hopefully entice some other breeders to get interested in your program and buy a female or a bull from you in the future."

Manitoba Ag Ex is the largest all-breeds cattle show in Manitoba.

Johnston says this year they are down to about 270 head of cattle, which he says is to be expected given the current situation. He adds this will be the first agriculture related event hosted by the Provincial Ex since the pandemic started.

Manitoba Ag Ex is entirely focused on the cattle industry, and attendees are all part of the agricultural industry.
