This contest is open to the top two Senior show persons in Beef, Sheep, Swine, Horse,
Dairy Cattle and Goats.
The highest ranking received in any species would be the species the exhibitor would
be required to show for the showmanship. In the event that the exhibitor tied for
ranking in two or more species, the first ranking received would be the species he or
she would show. The next place winner in the remaining species would be eligible to
compete. Each contestant must exhibit the same animal they showed in the species
showmanship contest.
Each show person will groom and show his or her own animal, then each contestant
will be required to show each of the other species exhibited. This will be done in a
round robin rotation system. There will be judges for each species.
Points will be awarded for the grooming and showing of the exhibitor’s own animal
and for the showing of each of the other species.
The decision of the judges will be final.
The Grand Champion Show person will be ineligible to compete in any future Overall
Showmanship Contest at the Woodbury County Fair.
The Grand Champion Overall Show person will receive a plaque.

Livestock exhibitors are to maintain their exhibit area in a clean and attractive manner.
Herdsmanship duties are the responsibility of the 4-H/FFA member.
Clubs will be rated as a club group in eight animal departments: cattle, sheep, swine, dairy,
goat, horse, rabbit and poultry. The total fair presentation by 4-H/FFA groups should
show a spirit of cooperation by each group through all species exhibits. This teamwork
within groups/clubs will broaden and enhance the educational scope of 4-H’ers/ FFA
members at the fair.
Each department will be inspected twice daily. Daily scoring on all species for each
club/group will be combined for the daily total score.
Scores are posted where clubs can see their results twice each day.
Criteria score sheets are available for club leaders/families to look over so they can improve
before the next judging occurs.
Stalls and pens are to be cleaned out at the close of the fair.
Premiums will be awarded to the top three clubs/groups that have four (4) or more species
as follows: First $25, Second $20, and Third $10. Each club/group per species will have
choice of pen location based on points for the following year.
