We've been set up by the big green wall for the past 3 years so I will guess thats where we will be. its either the 3rd or 4th row back right on the middle isle. I'll be going up Saturday morning to help a friend (remember Rusty, nasc?) with his steer and my heifer.

Does anyone else thing these two ring 80 a head has gotten kind of expensive? Or is it just me. We usually take 4-6 head as we have three kids showing.

 

[kane1598]

yes we are going, pretty excited about our shorthorn

Yes it is pushing the limits on $$$$.
But even at 80 I doubt the AGR will be profitable for the college kids.
I imagine the cost for the use of the State Fairgrounds is pretty high.

The hoosier beef congress is 75/head. I thought wow, thats crazy. But then you think about whats involved for them: Use of the state fair grounds
