LENA - The "2nd Annual Midwest Roundup", kicks of at 9 a.m. on April 10 at the Stephenson County Fairgrounds, Freeport. This all day event will focus on the beef industry.
There are 30 to 40 local, regional, and even national businesses setting up displays. These businesses will also be on hand to discuss different beef topics, such as, mineral programs, vaccination programs, and AI programs. This will allow visitors the opportunity to interact with the exhibitors by being able to ask questions. This will create an educational event for all members of the family. Each business will also provide one item to be put up for silent auction. All proceeds from this silent auction will go towards paying for the event.
Between 9 and 10:30 a.m., three guest speakers present on three different beef topics. This will be followed by a fitting demonstration by Purina at 11 a.m. During these presentations, enjoy a breakfast put on by the Lena FFA chapter from 9 to 10:30 a.m. Lunch will be served by the Stephenson County Beef Association, starting at 11 a.m. In the afternoon, we will have a local 4-H organization provide desserts. These organizations will be able to keep all proceeds raised during the event.
The auction starts at 1 p.m. Currently, we have 65 lots of cattle from 28 farms throughout Wisconsin, Iowa and Illinois on sale.
Breeds of cattle represented are: Simmental, Angus, Shorthorn, Herefords and even Crossbreds. This is unique as there are currently very few events that incorporate all different breeds into one sale offering. The conclusion of the sale will mark the end of the day's festivities.
