GOVERNOR’S CHARITY STEER SHOW
The Iowa Farm Bureau has sponsored a steer throughout the history of the Governor’s Steer Show (an event which raises money for the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Iowa) and will do so again in 2023. Organized by the Iowa Cattlemen’s Association and Iowa Beef Industry Council, the show has raised over $3.8 million to help provide a home away from home for families of children who are being treated in nearby hospitals.
The steers have been raised by Iowa youth involved in the cattle industry, and celebrities will accompany the young steer owners in the ring.
