"Click here for updates to the 2009 Hoosier Beef Congress"

On behalf of the Indiana Beef Cattle Association, I want to thank each of the junior exhibitors, sale consignors and buyers, tradeshow vendors and attendees, IBCA volunteers and our great IBCA staff, for an excellent 2008 Hoosier Beef Congress. Our entries were stronger than 2007 and the sales and tradeshow were well attended. We appreciate all the beef cattle enthusiasts and our allied industry partners who helped make 2008 a very special year. Please click on "2008 Show Results" to view all the results from this year's Congress.

We want to especially thank Tru-Test Scale Systems for the generous donation of the scale head, load bars and platform for our 2008 Membership Incentive Program. Kent Wolfe, Oaktown, won the scale system.

We are pleased to announce that 2009 Membership Incentive will be a 2009 Kawasaki Mule donated by Bane Equipment. It will be given away at the '00 Hoosier Beef Congress!

Once again, thanks to all the attendees at Hoosier Beef Congress. We look forward to seeing you in the barns at the various shows and sales in 2009, and we'll look forward to your return to the Indiana State Fairgrounds for the 23rd Hoosier Beef Congress, December 4-6, 2009.

                                                                    Julia A. Wickard
