Red Bluff Bull & Gelding Sale

by Leave a Comment

Last month SacHorse.com traveled to the famous Red Bluff Bull & Gelding Sale at the Tehama County Fairgrounds in Red Bluff, CA.  The Bull & Gelding Sale has lots to see.  For the equine enthusiasts there are multiple events in which horses and mules are worked as they are in preparation for the Gelding sale including shown at the halter, roping, and ranch exercises.  For the ag enthusiasts there is the whole world of beef production on display plus the workings of that vital ranch tool, the working cow dog.  Throw in a trade show, art show, bull riding and the “Sale” is not to be missed.  Join us in this photo essay as we spend an afternoon walking the grounds and showing you the sights right up until that exciting Friday night of the Gelding Sale.
