Lawrence County Farm Bureau hosted Ring on the River Sept. 29 at the Lawrence County Fairgrounds with Judge Levi Richards evaluating the animals.
The 3rd annual Ring on the River open beef show had 20 prospect heifer entries, one prospect market heifer entry, and 19 prospect steer entries. There were payouts for the top three in each class along with the top five overall prospect heifers and top five overall prospect market feeders. After the prospect show was over, we held showmanship broken down into three divisions. We had 11 take part in senior showmanship, eight in intermediate showmanship and 14 in beginner showmanship. Each showmanship participant was able to go home with a new rope halter, and the top two in each division took home a new feed pan or new water bucket.
A goal since the start of the show has been to raise awareness about breast cancer. Each year we collect items and money to go toward chemo care bags to take to the local hospitals. This year we collected over $290 to help put toward the bags.
Thank you to our various sponsors who helped to make the day a success!

The mission of Ohio Farm Bureau is working together for Ohio farmers to advance agriculture and strengthen our communities.
The plan we are on is great. It’s comparable to my previous job's plan, and we are a sole proprietor.
To grow a network and gain perspective and knowledge in the industry through personal and professional development has been invaluable. Every day I learn and grow.
The issue of property taxation remains as one of the biggest challenges our members face today. Ensuring agricultural property is valued for its agricultural potential and not development is critical to the continued success of Ohio agriculture.
Farm Bureau is what really got the word out. It’s been one of their goals to get this done.
I could not have done it without the resources I have found through Farm Bureau.
Because we are younger farmers just starting out, Farm Bureau has a lot of good opportunities and resources to help us grow in the future.
Through the Select Partner program, we became educated in farm insurance and weren't just selling policies. It became more and more clear why farmers need an advocate like Ohio Farm Bureau.
