The first purebred beef events went Wednesday at Canadian Western Agribition in Regina.

Bruce Holmquist, the chair of the Purebred Beef Comittee, says the Angus Masterpiece Sale was another very good sale with a $6038 average, adding a bull-calf went for $67,000 to a consortium of three buyers, including an American. A mature bull sold $15,000, a heifer calf went for $10,000, and several more sold in the $8000 range.
 
The Speckle Park Sale also went Wednesday with a $2777 average with buyers from Canada and even England and Australia.
 
More purebred shows, including the red and black angus shows, as well as the gelbveigh, simmental, shorthorn and charolais sales go today at EVRAZ Place.
