Day 19. Another day another show

Today is the open show, meaning that the breeders show off their genetics through the calves they show. Alan's showing some of our best heifers, marketing just as the other breeders are. As a breeder, this show is great exposure in front of some of the most influential people in our breed. We want to do well here so PVF looks better. And gets some name recognition.

I think the coolest thing about the exposure we get at NAILE is the fact that the association's annual meeting is held here. People involved in other parts of our breed take some time to watch our part of the industry and I think lends credence to this sector of the livestock industry. Not so next year. The association decided to move this meeting to the week before in another part of the Midwest. I will be interested to see how the importance of this open show changes as a result of them moving away from a show.

For now. We are doing well today. Happy to show off our show string. And enjoying being at this show.
