Congratulations on another successful fair season! There were so many GREAT projects at the fair. We had so much fun watching everyone get their projects judged, show their livestock, and we even had fun shooting off some rockets and making playdough with some of you during the week!

give her a HUGE thank you from both her youth in the club
and from the staff at the Extension Office.

Beef Bits:
Congratulations Marshall County Beef Exhibitors. You all
did a fantastic job and your beef projects ROCKED!!! You
made us proud.
A BIG shout out to Jeff Hibbs and Brett Goecke for the
awesome job of prepping the barn and getting the base
floor in the covered arena packed and hard for the week. It
was so nice to not be paddling in the sand. Thank you!!!
Also a BIG thank you to all who helped to clean up the beef
barn on Sunday. Thank you to Jim Stalzer, Mark Seffinga,
Jeff Hibbs, Greg Young, Jim Mosher, Scott Juchems and
Brett Stewart and anyone else we are missing here. We
couldn't do it without the “barndads” bringing in the big
equipment to help with clean up. We greatly appreciate it.
Congratulations to Lauren Mosher! Lauren won the
Prepared Speech at the National Junior Angus Show held in
Des Moines this past month. The speech was sharing the
beef cycle from "Pasture to Plate".
Congratulations to Laurin Goecke who exhibited at the
National Jr. Angus Show held in Des Moines, to Ethan and
Evan Espenscheid who exhibited at the National Jr.
Hereford Show held in Louisville, KY, and to Baylee and
Cody Butler who exhibited at the National Jr. Charolais
show held in Grand Island, NE. Way to go and represent
Marshall Co! We are very proud of you all. Congratulations
to Lauren Solberg and Cash Johnson on their Best of the
Best showing. You both did a wonderful job and you made
us all proud!! Thanks for doing such a great job representing
Marshall County Jr. Beef. Job well done.
Best of Luck to all beef exhibitors heading to the Iowa State
Fair! We know we have several showing in both the 4-H
and FFA shows along with all the open class shows. We
know you will do great. Remember to keep your aisle in the
barns clean so that we can keep getting a prime spot each
year. Marshall County Beef - One Class Act!!!!
