2017 Bull Bash in Valentine, Nebraska

Saturday, February 11th

Fun day for folks of all ages

Lots of support vehicles

Bulls and boys galore

Here, have a handful of hay

Broad backsides beget BEEF.

An equal opportunity producer

Perhaps a bit incongruous

Premier purchasing opportunity coming up this week

Pickups and Polaris display

Herefords are making a come-back

Valentine's Main Street was devoted to the day.

Many machinery displays

The Purina hospitality tent

Shooting the bull

F1 Hereford-Angus replacement heifers

More bulls

Cowboy hats were in abundance.

Lots of experience under this good guy's white hat

The shooting of the bull goes on

At the Bull Market Beer and Grill

Outside, the clean-up begins.

And it didn't take long to get Main Street back to normal traffic

Meanwhile back at the ranch the next day, the bovines and deer have been fed.

They were so concerned with devouring alfalfa that I had to whistle to get their attention.
