Livestock Exhibitor Resources

The Herd Sire area is a trademark event that simply can't be replicated anywhere else. With a 25% expansion of this area, there will now be just over 150 Herd Sire stalls available for producers and companies to market genetics like never before. With a NEW  bar inside of the SYEC serving beers as cold as the Rockies just steps away, the Herd Sire ambiance is sure to thrive for years to come over the middle weekend of National Western.

Up to 180 wash stations in the new Yards, ½ tempered ½ regular tap water. 4’ splash guards will be installed to protect neighboring pens from getting wet.

There are now three “main alleys”, one at 28’ and two at 24’ wide. All cross aisles are 16’ wide and have alley gates to accommodate moving unhaltered cattle.

• XL strong, thick gauge zip ties
• Hose clamps of all sizes
• Flag poles (height restriction is 4ft above the height of the panel
• NO need to pack a generator, the power is on us!

For every 24’ x 32’ pen, 120 amps with overflow are provided. There will be six, 20-amp outlets on their own circuit and with their own breaker box. For larger entries, the pens can easily expand to a 24' x 64' giving exhibitors 12, 20-amp outlets and so on.

Pictured here is what each section of pens is powered by. Each switch represents a 14,000KW generator, giving exhibitors more than enough power to their pens.

Standard size Day Pens are 24’ x 32’ with the ability to create larger pens for carloads or large groups. Night Pens are standard 16’ x 24’ with flexible options as well.

Here are the specifications for panels:

With hundreds of brand new pens, the Yards will have Day Pens and Night Pens as well.

Pens towards the bottom will be 24' x 32' Day Pens with power and water. Larger entries can pull panels to have a 24' x 64' and so on.

The pens towards the top will be 16' x 24' Night Pens, as A-B (i.e. pen 922 would be split in half as 922A-922B) with the ability to be opened up as a 24' x 32' Night Pen as well.

For every 24' x 32' Day Pen, 4-yards of a pre-bedding material will be provided. There will not be clean outs between each wave of exhibitors.
