The “burning of the brand” is the official opening to Agribition, and this year Premier Scott Moe and former 620CKRM Ag News Director Jim Smalley were given the honour.

Its kicks off six days of seminars, shows, and sales at what is considered the premier cattle event in North America.

People come from all around the world to be part of Canadian Western Agribition.

The show takes up a whole lot of real estate at the REAL District from the Affinity Plex to the Brandt Centre, and all the buildings in between.

The six day show wraps up on Saturday.
