My son finally got grand champion fitting and showing his last year of showing. I always felt the Fitting and showing champion carried more prestige than the market grand champion.

Round Robin is Friday at noon...Looking forward to watching! She got her foot smashed this evening practicing with a steer, but she is tough and will limp through the contest...

Thanks everyone for the kind words!

Post by: Southpole on September 16, 2022, 08:12:21 AM: That’s pretty awesome! When I showed FFA (dairy) the fitting & showing was the “Big” prize. I remember there was this one girl out of Starwood that nobody could ever beat. We all just had to wait her out until she got too old to show to give the rest of us a chance. That was back when the dairy was still numerous and popular in western Washington so there were a lot of us. Round Robins where fun if you ever get to that point.
