    By Dylan Taylor-LehmanNovember 24, 2016

    By Dylan Taylor-LehmanAugust 18, 2016

    Yellow Springs resident Austin Pence did some last minute primping and preening of the heifer that he and friend Jordin Snider showed in the Greene County Fair last week. Pence has been showing cattle for 13 years, and said that heifers should be big-boned and have a wide chest.
