Read MoreLawrence 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!
