4-H Members Win Livestock Awards at the North Dakota State Fair

The following 4-H members won champion, reserve champion or lot champion awards in swine, beef, dairy, sheep and goat classes at the North Dakota State Fair in Minot, July 21-24. Exhibitors in the showmanship classes are evaluated on how well they present their animals to the judges. Presentation includes cleaning, grooming, handling and showing the animals to their best potential. The top showmanship winners competed in a round robin livestock showmanship contest where they were judged on how well they could show other 4-H members’ animals.
