URGENT NEWS! We apologize for the short notice, but the cattle market shortage has hit home for NACHA.  As a result, we will have only limited fresh cattle for Saturday’s show.  We will have fresh cattle in the Open and the Non Pro only.  We anticipate a mix of fresh and reruns (from the last show) for the $25K Novice Horse.  The remaining classes will all be on rerun cattle.  We are adjusting our entry fees accordingly.  Open and Non Pro will remain at $160.  The $25K Novice Horse will go down to $145 and the $25K Amateur, $1K Amateur and $5K Novice Horse class will be at the regular rerun fee of $115.  We will have new entry forms at the office, reflecting these prices.
