Spokane Jr. Livestock Show

For the Herald

Seven 4-H and FFA youth travelled to Spokane the first week of May to make Boundary County proud at the 81st Annual Jr. Livestock Show of Spokane. All of the kids made an excellent showing making it to the final rounds of Showmanship and Quality with their prospect steers and heifers. Dillon Mai went on to be the Junior Beef Grand Champion Showman and Blake Rice was right with him at Reserve Grand Champion Junior Showman. Each member of the group showed their fair prospect steer and/or breeding project heifers and one sold a market steer at the Jr. Livestock Sale held on May 8. Over 230 head of cattle were at the show and over 200 beef kids participated from around Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana.
