does anybody know of any live stock sales venues in Iowa or live stock auctions? looking them on the net is like banging my head on the wall not getting anywhere.

Hello Iowa folks,
I saw the above article this morning. There are some serious political issues here (lol - sorry for my Texas sense of humor). Maybe chicken folks need someone among us to stand up for our rights and ... run for Congress.

Good day IA

Mike, you gotta remind me when the fair is each year! I'd love to be able to compete down there or is it open class just for Jrs.?

Eric its the last week of July next year.don't know dates right off hand.yes anyone can show in the open class.what kind of birds do you raise now? We are looking for some good cochin bantams and standard also othe decent quality birds if you come across any.we sold most of our birds except for a couple of the bantam cochins so we are looking to get restocked.Our daughter might not be showing next year for 4-h.she is going on a trip for about 20 days to Australia, New Zealand and Hawaii and would just be getting back from there the day before judging day.I'm the poultry superintendent for the 4-h and open class for the Sac County fair.Total numbers have been down the last couple of years.three years ago we had close to 200 birds.
