The 34th Ohio Beef Expo Junior Show was recently held at the Ohio Expo Center in Columbus, Ohio. This year’s show included separate championship drives for the Buckeye Breeders Series (BBS) - a division of the Ohio Cattlemen’s Association’s (OCA) Beef Exhibitor Show Total (BEST) program that features registered cattle born, bred and raised in Ohio.
The BBS division at the Expo was sponsored by Bob Evans Farms. The season’s sponsoring partners are Dickson Cattle Co., The Folks Printing Co., Jones Show Cattle and R.D. Jones Excavating.
