Cal Poly’s Western Bonanza Junior Livestock Show- San Luis Obispo, CA

Paso Robles Event Center 2198 Riverside Ave, Paso Robles

What began as a senior project in 1985, primarily as a beef show, has evolved into a five-ring show that is “The Best in the West”. In addition to being a completely student run show, Cal Poly’s Western Bonanza is one of the most competitive jackpot shows in the Western United States.
We appreciate the continued support of our donors that are truly the reason Western Bonanza is called “The Best in the West”.
