⚠️CATTLE EVENTS CANCELED — OCTOBER 2ND & 3RD‼️

Unfortunately... Due to the expected weather forecast... we've made the decision to CANCEL THIS WEEKENDS CATTLE EVENTS at Pretzel Arena on Friday, October 2nd and Saturday, October 3rd.
We usually wrap up our season at the end of September... and we knew we were taking "a chance" when we decided to add a couple of dates in October. Unfortunately... Mother Nature just isn’t cooperating with us this time.

We’re sorry to have to cancel 🫤 but we wanted to get the word out as soon as we could, so everyone has plenty of notice and time to make other plans for their weekend. We didn’t want to wait until the last minute and leave everyone hanging and wondering! Please pass the word to your buddies and friends!

Thank you to everyone who was planning to come out, and "Thank You" for all of your support throughout our 2026 cattle season! ❤️
