Register Now for the Montana Angus Tour

The 40^th annual event takes place Sept. 23-25

Registration is now open for the 2014 Montana Angus Tour, which is scheduled for Sept. 23-25. This year’s tour will feature eastern Montana Angus breeders and will be based out of Sidney, Mont. Registration is $100 per person before Sept. 1, and there is also a golf scramble for those interested.

This year’s tour is being titled the “Black Gold Angus Tour,” because it will showcase some of the nation’s top genetics being raised in the heart of the Bakken oil boom.

“We’re proud to be celebrating the 40^th anniversary of the tour this year,” says Steve Lund, Montana Angus Association. “The Montana Angus Tour will be a great opportunity to see lots of Angus cattle, meet lots of Angus breeders from around the country, and have a good time.”
