Each 4-H member must care for their own animal, follow humane husbandry practices, complete quality assurance and ethics certification and training care, in addition to overseeing proper animal health and registration certificates. The 4-H Goat Show took place on Wednesday. The two categories were Meat Goats and Dairy Goats divided by age. Prior year Scramble goats were also judged. Bruce Davis of Easton served as Superintendent and Lane Davis of Mount Pulaski as Assistant Superintendent. Judge Mason Fricke brought experience to the show ring encouraging and teaching exhibitors in the fine art of showing, and critiquing qualities he saw in their goats physical characteristics. Early in the show, one goat had other ideas. Shortly after a young Miss entered the ring the goat made a break for it escaping to the outside. It took several extra hands and a little time, but it was captured and the show went on. The quality of the livestock and the performance of the participants earned high praises from Judge Fricke, and often made it a difficult call when it came to deciding the top awards. The following participants took home the superior recognitions: CHAMPION DAIRY DOE – Tanner Jones RESERVE CHAMPION DAIRY DOE – Tanner Jones CHAMPION MEAT GOAT DOE – Brit Tomlinson RESERVE CHAMPION MEAT GOAT – Cash Tomlinson CHAMPION PRIOR YEAR SCRAMBLE GOAT CONFIRMATION – Cash Tomlinson Continued p
