Want a chance to win a FREE market beef project?

Interested in a chance to win a FREE market beef project?  The Baby Beef Club is currently taking orders for 2025 steers.  The Committee finds the number of Baby Beef steers needed. Members then puchase the cattle from the Committee paying close to market price. Members choose a number out of a hat to determine which steer is theirs for the year.  The steer is then sold at the fair as a market project.  For more information, contact the Extension Office.
