Beef Expo real-life learning for students of all ages

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — For Ty Kenney, his first visit to the Illinois Beef Expo was successful on all levels.

The Illinois Central College student fulfilled all the requirements for his Livestock Production class project. And, his confidence in choosing a good bull was confirmed. For his assignment, after doing research, he chose the bull which sold for the most at the Illinois Performance Tested Bull Sale event at the state fairgrounds in Springfield on Feb. 23.

“I was able to find what I wanted,” said Kenney of Brimfield, in Peoria County, near the college in East Peoria.

He and three other students participated in the project designed by their teacher, Grant Grebner, to give them real-life experience at a bull sale.
