The Fairgrounds show arena was full for the annual beef show Friday.
Bethany DeDonder fared well, winning grand champion market beef and several other categories. She says there is a lot of work involved just in general, but there’s also a lot of work right before the show.
Reese Houck was the reserve champion in market beef. She says all the prep work involved was designed to make her entry “look pretty.”
Lilly Parks focused on showmanship and was pleased with how things went, especially because she was showing an animal that had its first show experience Friday.
