Red Bluff

28 RED BLUFF 2010 Bull & Gelding Sale Hundreds of ranchers come to Red Bluff from across the country for the annual Bull & Gelding Sale, held in late January — one of Red Bluff’s biggest events. While the sale started out as strickly a Hereford bull show and sale, it has evolved into an all-breeds beef sale that also boasts some of the best ranch horses, mules, replacement heifers and working stock dogs the West has to offer. It’s been called the biggest bull sale west of the Rocky Mountains, and for many it helps keep their farm businesses alive and well. The culmination of the event is the Blood and Guts Bull Riding Challenge Saturday night, which celebrated its 17th year in 2009. Other favorite aspects to the week’s schedule are the Cowboy Pancake Breakfast, Cattlewomen’s Luncheon, Chico Ag Alumni Reunion, a massive trade show offering everything Western, and of course, all the sales made and prizes that are award- ed.
