Fair Season is in Full Swing in Alabama

Early Fall marks "Fair Season" in Alabama. Over the last few weeks, county fairs have drawn in crowds all over Alabama.


As an industry, this time provides provides us an opportunity to interact one-on-one with fairgoers and talk about what it is to play the role of steward to our animals and our land.


As parents, volunteer leaders, and supporters of youth livestock programs, this is a time to celebrate the outstanding young men and women participating in the junior shows.


This week, beef cattle will be on display at the Alabama National Fair. Open Brahman, Charolais, Angus, and Hereford shows are scheduled for today and tomorrow. Saturday will host the Junior show starting off with Showmanship then moving on to the Heifer Show and followed up by the Steer Show.


If you're going to be in or around Montgomery this weekend, please stop by and check out this great event. It's sure to give you a sense of optimism about the future of the cattle industry based on the great set of junior cattlemen involved.
