The barns at the State Fairgrounds have been active this week with the continuous movement of cattle being led up and down the aisles during the Iowa Beef Expo. Iowa State has had a number of students involved with expo, which has been taking place all this week. It will continue until Sunday. This is a chance for people to see the different beef breeds show, and then watch them sell.
People get to look at the technology that is out there in the world today.
One area ISU students have been involved in is judging. Students come from all over the country to be in it. It is one of the only judging contests that focuses only on beef. This contest really teaches decision-making skills to the participants and also promotes Iowa State. Marshall Ruble, manager of the ISU Beef Teaching Farm, said there are many Iowa State ties to the expo.
