On
Wednesday morning at the Logan County Fair, the
Irwin sisters dominated the 4-H dairy show with
Sarah winning Grand Champion Heifer and Dawn winning
the Grand Champion Cow. Sarah's plaque was sponsored
by Phil Willson, Atlanta Ag Center and Dawn's plaque
was given by Prairie Farms. In the Senior
Showmanship category, the trophy was given by Irwindale Farms, with Sarah Irwin being the winner.
Also finishing well in showmanship was Walker Allen.
Allen has been showing dairy for three years. He
noted that his family raises beef cattle, but he has
chosen to raise and show dairy. Also showing dairy
this year, and taking home several blue ribbons were
Laura Rankin and Charlotte Toohill.
