Logan County Fair brings quality competitors for the 4-H Goat Show

[August 03, 2024]   On Wednesday afternoon several young members of the various Logan County 4-H clubs turned out to show off their goats in the 4-H Goat Show. The youngsters, some of who were smaller than their goats did an excellent job of keeping the happy and playful goats in line so that the judge could see each kid and animal in its best light.

As the animals were paraded around the arena in the north livestock show barn, the judge often had a perplexed look as he struggled to decide which of the fine animals was the vest. Each animal stood its own very well in the competition with their structure and carriage being comparable to each other.

In the end it was Palmer Foran who took the Champion Meat Doe with Mason Short getting the Reserve.

Mason also took the Champion Meat Wether.

Palmer took home the largest number of individual championships showing superior and winning the Champion Scramble Goat Confirmation, Champion Scramble Goad Record, Champion Scramble Goat Showmanship, Champion Overall Scramble Goat, and the Junior Goat Showmanship award.

Mason Short took the Reserve Champion Scramble Goat Confirmation award.
