It's safe to say last week was far from what anyone expected it to be. If there's one thing to know about people in the livestock industry is come hell or LOTS of water the show will go on!

They had to move locations this year, but Southeast Iowa Showdown still put on a heck of a show!

Pictures are hitting the website, we'll let ya know when they're all up! For now, check out whats available.
