🔹Missouri State Fair 2026🔹

I’m reminded every year of how crazy the schedule is around this time, with trying to get calves prepped for the show and school starting back up. It really does take a village, and we are so grateful for the people that work alongside us.

•Thank you to the people behind the scenes of the show, it is not easy.
•Thank you to dad, the best cattle feeder that gets us where we need to be and covers when we can’t be there.
•Thank you to the Wrinkle family, that jumped in feet first and have been a pleasure to work with the past few years.
•Thank you to Hayley Miller for helping all of us keep the wheels on the bus.

State Fair, it’s been a whirlwind!
Results attached to pictures. Congratulations to all our customers on a great summer run!

Another year, another Ozark Empire Fair…

We’re thankful this show continues to work for us and our schedule. Getting to hang out with our favorite people and some top tier cattle makes it all worth it. Results are attached to pictures.

A HUGE shoutout and thank you to Eli and Ethan Rogers for helping us get the girls in show shape.

Hey, if it works, it works. 🤷🏼‍♀️

County fairs crack me up, and this was too funny not to share. Good luck to all the market animal exhibitors in the sale tonight!
