LEBANON, Tenn. (WKRN) — The 2025 Wilson County — Tennessee State Fair is more than just food, carnival games, and rides. It is also about agriculture!

Our society relies heavily on meat, animals and the process it takes to go from farm to table.

News 2 spoke with Addysyn Spangler with TWOA Boer Goats. The Hartsville native said she has several goats in the Boer Goat Show for competition at this year's state fair.

According to Spangler, preparing for the competition is a lengthy but rewarding process. From the time the goats are babies, she provides for them and gets them ready for a show career.

Some of the Boer goats are reportedly bred so they can produce more goats. It's an ongoing process with the goal being able to go from the farm to a table.

Participating in livestock shows brings the education of animals and the business of raising them, making them presentable, and marketing them to breed or to sell.
