About The Northern International Livestock Exposition

The Northern International Livestock Exposition (NILE) is dedicated to the promotion of livestock, agriculture education, and preserving the western way of life. The NILE holds a week long stock show and rodeo held in October every year. Hundreds of exhibitors from across the region (38 different states) bring livestock to show and sell. Hundreds of horses are also competed on and sold that week. The NILE has a long standing tradition of top notch rodeo performances. NILE also operates the Montana Agri-Trade Exposition (MATE) held in February each year. This trade show celebrates farming and ranching and the businesses the help make those operations work. Before the Professional Bull Riders (PBR) became an association the NILE hosted an invitational bull riding in April of 1992, ever since then NILE celebrates the tough determination of cowboys through this event. The NILE is a non-profit, membership organization 501(c)3. Please join us in preserving and embracing the western way of life. NILE and all of its moving parts. If you’ve ever walked through the barns or across the grounds during the stock show and rodeo you understand the chaos. There’s a lot of moving parts. It’s surprising that we don’t offer a cat showmanship class because it sometimes feels like the staff is herding cats. There’s cattle, and lambs, and pigs, and goats, and show horses, and rodeo horses, and bucking horses, and 4-her’s, and FFA-ers, and their moms, and announcers, and auctioneers, and judges, and how about those volunteers, and vendors, and visitors, and media, and that one guy, and of course the interns, to move cohesively, seamlessly, simultaneously. Oh my! Talk about a lot going on at once. You get it; there’s a ton of activity the third week of October, but did you know about everything else we do?
