"We will help our fallen first responders and military," said Mike Kerby, the events coordinator. Friday's event takes place from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Hilton Garden Inn in Salina. On Saturday, more than 90 animals will be for sale at Passion For Prime from 1 to 5 p.m. at Farmers & Ranchers Livestock. Events like this one bring in new producers each year, increasing the number of ranchers who raise this animal. Currently, less than a dozen producers in Kansas raise Wagyu. But Kerby said interest is growing. "This event brings in new producers each year," Kerby, who runs Buck Mountain Ranch in Warsaw, Mo., said. "It's a chance for small producers to have a hand in."
