MSU students show cattle at KFB Expo

MOREHEAD, Ky. (WTVQ)- Students from Morehead State’s Department of Agricultural Sciences got some real-world livestock experience recently at the Kentucky Farm Bureau Beef Expo Cattle Show, held in Louisville earlier this month.

Joe Fraley, manager of the MSU farm who helps select students to show cattle, said many people don’t realize how much work goes into showing cattle, and he’s proud of the students who competed.
