Knotwells know champion cattle

It turns out that fair is a lot of work for Encampment's Konnar (16) and Kamry (13) Knotwell.
Starting in early June the sisters began a program with their steers and heifers of controlled feeding to get them to a target weight, washing, combing and drying their hair with fans. This program continued all the way through state fair.
