Round Robin Showmanship Contest
Friday, August 13, 10:00 AM
Show Barn

As the fair rapidly approaches, ideas are in place for additional education and fun for the exhibitors. On Friday, August 13,2010 at 10:00 a.m., the 4-H Livestock Club will be hosting a Round Robin Showmanship Competition. Showmanship, as you know, is an important aspect of youth projects and hard working individuals that qualify for this event will be recognized with nice prices and awards.

1. In order to qualify for this event, youth must be the Champion Showman in their respective specie showmanship division for beef, sheep, goat, swine or dairy during fair week.
2. Exhibitors can choose not to compete, however they will need to let a leader of the 4-H Livestock Club know this immediately after their specie show. If the Champion Showman elects not to compete in his/her specie then the option to compete will be offered to the reserve champion and the offer could continue down the showmanship placing order until a youth agrees to participate from that specie and age category.
3. nly 5 Seniors, 5 Intermediates and 5 Juniors will qualify.
4. The youth will not be responsible for getting the animals to show; the Round Robin Planning Committee will do this. Only one animal species will be in the ring at a time.
5. This contest is not only fun, but it serves as an Educational tool introducing exhibitors to various species of animals and the showmanship skills needed to properly show their animal and be competitive.
