27th Annual Hoosier Beef Congress in the History Books

  The Indiana weather remained true to tradition for this year’s Hoosier Beef Congress (HBC) with snow and cold temperatures. However, those factors did not deter the turnout at the Indiana State Fairgrounds for families attending this annual event. Despite Mother Nature’s wintry blast, 81 more cattle entered the show rings this year than did in 2012.
The 2013 Hoosier Beef Congress saw 1520 purebred and commercial heifers and steers pass through the show rings. A total of 157 cattle were put through the breed and all-star sales on Saturday morning.
On Friday evening, 625 exhibitors did their best in the Showmanship competition and then 983 juniors exhibited some of Indiana’s finest show cattle on Saturday and Sunday. For those who were not in attendance this past weekend, the opportunity to witness the caliber of young people presenting these calves makes one proud to be a Hoosier. They all did an outstanding job!
