It looks like the majority says May 31-June 3.

So Converse show dates will be as follows:
Hogs: Saturday May 31
Cattle: Sunday June 1
Goats: Monday June 2
Sheep: Tuesday June 3

Once judges are set I will post!

Subject to change, but shows will start at 5pm, check in 1-3p. I will be using the showman app again to enter and make classes. I know some of you will have graduations over the weekend, so if check in interferes in some way feel free to text me day of to check in.

Welcome to 2025! Converse fair shows will be here before we know it! So I have some options that I need opinions on. I have a wedding on June 7th which is our normal weekend, so we will have to change things up. So just comment your preference from the below options.
1) May 28-31 (wed-sat)
2) May 31-June 3 (sat-tues)
3) June 11-14 (wed-sat)(this runs into swine expo and grant county fair starts the day after)

Just let me know ever you think!

2 days down 2 to go! Numbers have been great this year! Over 100 goats, and 160 lambs! You guys are great! Thank you for keeping things running smoothly by being prompt!

If you get a chance to check out our sponsors please do so, we couldn’t do this without them!

And thank my help! I have a grade A team with me!

Thanks again and we will see you at the cattle show tonight and hog show tomorrow!

We are ready to go, we just need you! Shout out to my hubby for all of his hard work he puts into this!

Also, our scales apparently got infested with mice this winter and we were not able to get someone out to fix it in time. So please come prepared to declared weights on everything!
Sorry for the inconvenience.

We are going to try the showman app this year for registration and class editing! I’m still learning, so it might take some time to get everything aligned. But here’s our published link!
