Logan County Fair 2022

2022 LOGAN COUNTY FAIR LINCOLN DAILY NEWS JULY / AUGUST 2022 Page 189 O n Thursday morning the last two 4-H livestock shows of the 2022 Logan County Fair were going on at approximately the same time. The 4-H and Junior Sheep show was taking place in the sheep arena while the 4-H beef show was underway in the large livestock barn. For those who may not know, the sheep are kept separate from the other animals because they have sensitivities that other animals do not. Therefore it is important to keep the species away from others to keep it healthy. With the conclusion of these two shows, the hard work for the 4-h livestock producers was ultimately over, though there would be other responsibilities that they have after the shows, such as deciding on an animal for the 4-H auction to be held on Sunday or making a decision about entering the Junior carcass show that will be next week. They also still have animals to care for, and if they are headed to the state fair, it starts on Thursday, August 11th and then they are thrown into another week of very hard work maintaining and showing their animals. But nonetheless, they are ready to take a breath. They have accomplished their Logan County Fair mission and can let their hair down just a little bit for the remainder of the fair. With that to look forward to, the youth put on their show faces, gathered up their animal leads and sticks, and went to work Thursday morning showing their steers. Thursday was a cooler day than Wednesday, and some of the young animals were a bit “feisty.” To say that there was one bullheaded steer in the show ring on Thursday is an oxymoron, but we’re going to say it anyway. A little more education for those unaware. A bull is a male cow with the ability to reproduce.
