Beginning at 6 p.m. those interested in beef carcass evaluation are invited to join in as OSU Extension Beef Field Specialist Garth Ruff discusses grading and scoring of the Beef Performance and Carcass Quality contest. You need not be a Junior beef exhibitor to attend. If you want to learn more about beef carcass quality and yield evaluation you are welcome.

Following at 7:30, the Jr. Show Superintendents will lead discussion reviewing the 2024 fair, and possible improvements for 2025 and beyond. This is intended to be an opportunity to share your thoughts on how best to host the 2025 Jr. beef show and the learning experiences that can accompany it.

If you are a junior beef exhibitor, the parent of a junior beef exhibitor, interested in becoming a Fairfield County junior beef exhibitor, or simply wanting to learn more about youth beef projects and how they might relate to real world beef production, make plans to attend this open meeting in the Fairfield County Ag Center beginning at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, November 20.
