wisconsin state fair junior beef exhibitors
For Wisconsin State Fair youth beef exhibitors, the state fair isn't just corn dogs and ferris wheels. It's a passion for beef cattle and months of hard work and dedication coming together for one show. "I love raising and showing beef cattle because there are so many various opportunities," says Hannah Tremaine. "I learned how to work hard and be passionate about something you love."
