Proof that great things can come in small packages, the WI Jersey State Show was held August 15th at the Central WI State Fairgrounds in Marshfield, WI. Despite a drop in numbers from the past years, the quality runs undeniably deep throughout the classes. Chris McCullough of Juda, WI was on hand to sort through Wisconsin's finest little brown bovines.
