Wednesday during the show we enjoyed cooler temperatures and rain… several rain showers occurred throughout the day. Thursday was a beautiful day for people who attended the show because we had little dust, cooler temperatures and a good crowd through the tent. Members who displayed cattle at this year’s show included: Carl Dethlefs and Sons of Rockville, Dethlefs Angus Ranch of Ravenna, Herbster Angus Farms of Falls City, Lazy Black Diamond Ranch of Palmer and Lienemann Cattle Co. of Princeton.
