Mark your calendars for Saturday and Sunday, June 29-30, and plan to attend the North Dakota Junior Beef Expo (NDJBE) at the Upper Missouri Valley Fairgrounds in Williston, ND. This fun-filled, multi-breed field day event is open to all juniors 21 years old and younger who are members of 4-H, FFA or a junior breed association.
