“We had the highest opening day of all time, almost 60,000 people,” said Paul Andrews, stock show CEO and president.
“We’re back to pretty normal numbers for livestock. We went from seven sales last year and will have almost 15 this year,” Andrews said.
“We’re doing what we would like to call, and hopefully this term will stick some day, January Madness, like March Madness for the NCAA tournament,” Andrew said.The outdoor livestock yards, where a lot of the serious business gets done, have been transformed. The historic wood pens have been replaced by new metal and wood structures that can be removed when the stock show is over. Each pen has six power outlets and access to hot and cold water.
“The ones that were sentimental about the historic value of it, because the stock show has done such a masterful job of redoing this, those people have seen the light,” Krebs said. Along with updated pens, a new stockyards event center was built. After the stock show is over, construction is expected to get going on a 350,000-square-foot livestock center and an adjacent building that will be the stock show’s headquarters.
Brad Buchanan, CEO of the authority, expects the number of participants and events to increase significantly this year. The Mayor’s Office of the National Western Center is responsible for designing and overseeing the construction of many of the buildings. Work done by the office includes building utility infrastructure and new roads; relocating and consolidating railroad lines; and overhauling two major sewer lines that involved combining them into one line, placing it underground; and tapping the thermal energy to heat and cool buildings on the grounds.
