Cattle producers and feedyards bring cattle that they have raised to the live show where they are judged for weight, care, and health of the animal. The public comes to the event and is educated on the feeding processes, the care that goes in to raising beef cattle, and how the cattle compare to other area produced cattle.
This traditional rodeo provided a "free to public" event that drew over 6,500 people. This allowed us to highlight the many skills used by feedlot cowboys and cowgirls in their daily activity and helped us promote beef and our industries to the general public.
The beef empire days parade is an event that draws a large crowd from the community and includes over 100 entries. Parade floats are prepared to the theme of beef empire days and to show support for the area economy in beef. The parade has community leaders, state and federal leaders attend, and meet the garden city area residents.

Names, privacy, and removal requests More
The names, titles, and compensation shown on this page are reproduced from IRS Form 990 filings, which are public records.
Philanthropy.org does not alter the content of those filings. All information appears exactly as reported by the filing organization for the tax year shown.
We publish only information contained in the public IRS filing — and less than the filing contains. Our profile pages do not display street addresses, telephone numbers, personal email addresses, or other personal contact information, even where the filing includes them.
Many people share the same name. A name shown on this page reflects only what one organization reported in one IRS filing for one tax year. It should not be interpreted as identifying any other individual with the same or a similar name.
If you are no longer affiliated with the organization, your name will generally stop appearing in future IRS filings once the organization no longer reports you. Pages for tax years in which you were reported remain published because those filings remain part of the public record.
Philanthropy.org does not alter or remove IRS filing records. Removing a page from this website would not remove the underlying IRS filing, which remains publicly available from the IRS and other publishers of the same information.
If you believe the IRS filing itself is inaccurate, corrections must be made by the filing organization or the IRS directly.
