Aug. 3-5  will be the Manitoba Youth Beef Roundup 11th annual event in Neepawa.  This exciting three-day event will bring together junior members, 4-Hers, and cattle enthusiasts from all across the province.

The show is organized by representatives from various beef breeds that have been involved with National and Provincial shows in the past. Our goal is to prepare young entrepreneurs in the livestock industry, thru this exciting showcase of youth, cattle and friendly competition. This event will educate, encourage, stimulate and unite participants in the business of agriculture and the beef industry.  It encompasses a variety of competitions and events to match all interests and skill levels of participants. Some of the events are team grooming, Individual and team judging, showmanship, marketing, sales talk, impromptu speeches, art, photography, scrapbooking, as well as cattle classes.

This will be a celebration showcasing youth and agriculture in our province.  We encourage young and old to stay involved in the agriculture industry, explore career opportunities, increase national trade and awareness, and be proud to be part of one of Canada’s largest industries.  We feel the celebration of our past shows exemplifies the importance of youth and agriculture and will strive to present innovative opportunities that promote and educate future cattleman dedicated to the cattle industry.   

New in 2018 will be the Sullivan Show Supply Workshop, young handlers competition, Digger Award and invitations for 4-H champion yearling females from each 2018 Club Achievement to attend Roundup, with entry fee paid by Roundup.  Along with Ag Challenge competitions, cook-off, cattle shows, scholarships, stockman’s quiz, public speaking and the selection of Canadian Western Agribition Team.  Entry forms and details at www.mbyouthbeefroundup.weebly.com.Roundup is being undertaken as an all breeds show to bring young purebred and commercial cattle producers from across the province to see friendly competition amongst the new and upcoming producers from within Manitoba.  Check out Manitoba Youth Beef Roundup
