We coop in on Wednesday night at the evergreen state fair in Monroe. My kid shows rabbits but she’s also competing in the foods and plant and soil sciences(gardening). A couple of our friends are showing sheep and will be selling lambs.
Our youth livestock show is Saturday night.

Congrats! :tup: That makes me miss my 4-H fair days, I did horses and pigs. It's a ton of work, but it looks like your kids had fun and were successful! Now it's time to start planning for next year's fair :yike: :chuckle:
Yes! Planning already...Kids want to buy a heifer and enter into the bred heifer category. Daughter has the plan of gaining experience showing a large animal by way of the heifer and going on to a steer the next year. She is even looking as far forward as to showing the heifers calf if its a bull calf...She makes a good argument... :chuckle:
@Jackelope...good luck to you guys at Monroe! Looking forward to hearing how it goes!

someone else took it over from the ffa side this year so we're gonna give it a go while enrolment is fresh. She also competes in the talent show as an open competitor. My older daughter is about done and off to college next year but might show one last time.

I encourage all 4H and FFA clubs to create a livestock booster group that helps raise money to support these kids’ projects. This group will help level the money each kid receives. My family decided to donate to the boosters rather than purchase an individual animal to help avoid the politics of supporting only a few kids. My two oldest kids showed a rabbit and a chicken this year and hope to move up to heifers in the future. Love the fair!

Here is one from 2019,
Do you know if all the livestock showmanship winners get buckles?
Post by: jackelope on August 28, 2019, 03:14:28 PM
Very nice buckles this year! I hope my kids will earn one or two in the future.

I'm pretty sure that Grand and Reserve Grand for large and small species all get buckles at Grant.
Thanks.
