Did you ever wonder how well the grand and reserve champion fair animals will grade out on the rail?
The OSU Extension office is pleased to announce the 2016 Hardin County Fair Carcass Show of Champions to be held Thursday, Sept. 15 at 6 p.m.
The annual carcass show will be held at Mt. Victory Meats, 670 E. Marion St., in Mt. Victory. The carcass show will evaluate the meat value of the grand champion and reserve champion steers, barrows, gilts, lambs, and goats.
Carcass value will be determined by evaluating the dressing percentage, square inches of loin, external fat thickness, internal fat, quality grade, yield grade, and adjusted percent of muscle.
