REGIONAL — Plans to bring the 2021 Minnesota State Cattlemen’s Tour to Rock and Nobles counties are ramping back up after the 2020 tour had to be postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The event will take place July 13, with eight different tour stops across the two counties. The Rock-Nobles Cattlemen’s Association anticipates approximately 1,000 attendees, according to President Jay Bakken, a cattle producer from rural Garretson, South Dakota.
“We’re pretty proud of what we have down here and we’re looking forward to showing it to the rest of the state,” said Bakken. “We’re looking forward to good attendance because I think people are ready to get back to something normal.”
