An event that we always cherished here at Horton Shorthorns and we are glad we can continue the tradition Scott started years ago by bringing one of his favorite tractors to be put on display.

This weekend if you and your family are free swing by the Kane County Farm Bureau for their Touch-a-tractor event.
