Inside Look at the County Fair: Manitowoc County

I didn't have to go too far from home to see what these guys were bringing to the fair this year. Erika and Toby are showing with the Liberty Go-Getters 4-H Club, and Deisel's showing for 

Valders FFA

.

Erika's bringing her Winter heifer this year, Lady. She talked about what her favorite part of the fair is and I couldn't agree more!

Now Toby's got his hands full with a Summer yearling this year. He was talking about the whole process of how they pick out which heifers they're bringing to the fair and he told me all about what the week before the fair looks like for them. 

In one word: BUSY.

Heading into his Junior year at Valders High School, Deisel's bringing a Fall yearling heifer this year. I know a lot about beef and pigs, but not too much about the dairy side of judging. He talked about what the judge looks for in heifers.

Good luck to these guys and to anyone showing at the

Manitowoc County Fair

this year!

I wanted to give a big shout out to the Hammels for being so cool and showing me around the farm. Also, thanks to Deisel because me being an idiot, locked my keys in my car. So he brought me back home to grab my spare haha. 

Thanks again!
