Angus activities begin Tuesday with check in at 8 a.m. on the
Hill and at 1 p.m. in the Yards.
The Super-Point Roll of Victory (ROV) Angus Show — also
designated the 2010 National Angus Show — will kick off
Wednesday, Jan. 13, with the bull show beginning at noon in the
Stadium Arena. Brian Barragree, Absarokee, Mont., will serve as
judge, with Troy Thomas, Harrold, S.D., serving as associate

On Thursday, Jan. 14, events will begin with the judging of sale

all sale consignments. John Grimes, Hillsboro, Ohio; Brian
McCulloh, Viroqua, Wis.; John McCurry, Burrton, Kan.; Darrell

The annual Angus Bull Sale will begin at 4 p.m., Thursday, at

Thursday events wrap up with the Angus Reception beginning at 7

Items being auctioned will include an Angus-themed, custom-made
pendant; an original painting by C.J. Brown, featuring an Angus
bull designated by the winning bidder; as well as a variety of
other items. Several sales during the NWSS will also feature
designated lots with proceeds going toward the 2010 NJAS.
On Friday, Jan. 15, the Angus ROV show resumes with the female
show beginning at 8 a.m., in the Stadium Arena. Brian Barragree
will judge females, and Troy Thomas will serve as associate

Livestock Center Auction Arena. Jason Hoffman, Thedford, Neb.;
Guy Laflin, Olsburg, Kan.; and Jim Glaus, Chamberlain, S.D.,
will officiate the group competitions.
An Angus “Listening Post” will again be located in the Yards,
Wednesday through Saturday. Stop by the tent for a cup of coffee

commercial cattle producers are encouraged to stop by the Angus
