| World
Beef Expo
at Milwaukee, WI continues to be a major activity of the association, providing
members a venue where their finest Belted Galloways are evaluated by knowledgeable
judges. Unique to our show is the inclusion of Belted Galloway steer classes,
to promote the meat opportunity derived from raising Belties.
Exhibitors are primarily small breeders, bringing one to four animals per farm. Interestingly, some are coming not because they think their animals are best, but to be a part of the 'show scene' before and after the actual show. With the huge amount of work and expense in showing, that's a great testimonial to everyone participating. Because we recognize that the future and growth of our breed rests with our youth we consider our junior members to be an integral part of our Belted Galloway show. Each year special Junior Showmanship classes are held and over the years participation in these classes has continued to grow. The exuberancy and enthusiasm of these young showmen infects all participants and contributes to making the World Beef Expo an enjoyable experience for all.
Numerous members, but especially juniors, promote Belted Galloways at their local fairs. The increasing number of junior showmen confirms that GLBGA juniors are excellent Beltie promoters. We welcome new members to our Association. To apply for membership please send in the application below. |
