Though there were no iconic mountains in the background this year, multiple beef cattle breeds were able to come together and pull off a national show after the National Western Stock Show took a pause due to the viral pandemic.
Making it happen was exceedingly valuable to exhibitors like 20-year-old Nicholas Imhoff, who started preparations for the show three years ago with the purchase of a straw of semen on his first visit to the National Western.
The resulting bull, named “Locked In,” is now a coming 2-year-old and one of best in the Red Angus breed.
