Another edition of Canadian Western Agribition is in the books and organizers are pleased.

CEO Marty Seymour says a lot of things contributed to their success, from producers bringing in the best in livestock genetics, to the currently strong beef industry, as well as some new programming for this year.

"If you look at the new food pavilion building that we launched to try to help connect producers and the consumers. A wine garden addition to Agribition, added jousting on the Saturday, our music lineup was stronger. We had a lot people take advantage of seeing the buildings for one last time. Overall, we're delighted of the outcome of this year's show," he said.

Seymour says overall cattle sales were up about 10 per cent above average with producers extremely pleased.

This year’s numbers could top the charts — generally Agribition boasts about $4 to 5 million in livestock sales.
