IOWA STATE FAIR ollowing the cancellation of the Iowa State Fair, a select group of Iowa’s show cattle industry supporters wanted
to ensure that the juniors in their state got to show and that COVID-19 did not tarnish the end of their season. This group of leaders worked together toward the goal of giving the opportunity to show to the kids in Iowa. With the leadership of Wade Rodgers, Brad Smith and Tracy Goretska, Brad Otto, Travis Shanks, Brent Lowry and Kevin Brooks this core group of chose the challenge of raising fund in support this year Iowa State Special Edition. This group solicited donor support from around the State of Iowa and the Midwest. Equally important as the donor support for this cause was those individuals who were active buyers of the 86 lots of goods and services offered thru the ISF Beef Champion Supporters July 22nd online auction. The one evening auction rose over $90,000 for beef youth support. 2020 was the inaugural year of the Iowa State Fair Beef Champion Supporters providing $88,000 in premium awards to the 2020 market beef champions. ISFBCS is an organization comprised of show cattle enthusiasts who are supportive of youth in agriculture. ISFBCS objectives are supporting Iowa youth actively engaged in raising and showing beef cattle, the show cattle industry and supplementing IFAA’s mission through the Sale of Champions. To all the ISFBCS donors and supporters, we THANK YOU for your financial commitment! The ISF Beef Champion Supporters are already planning for 2021 with a goal of increasing the organizations support of the youth show cattle industry by nearly 50 percent. Stay connected by supporting ISF Beef Champion Supporter with the 2021 fundraiser set for early next year. Congratulations to all the market beef champions and special thanks to all of this year’s supports.
