Typically utilized during the State Fair to house cattle and horses, the Beef Barn--the second structure ever to be erected on the Fairgrounds in 1936--is available year-round for a variety of livestock events. The Beef Barn was fully renovated in 2009, brought to current structural and electrical code, and features all necessary hook-ups for washing/grooming animals as well as a full-function show ring with bleacher seating and pens that can be set up in a variety of configurations.
