The 40th Annual Washington County Junior Livestock Show kicked off at the Fairgrounds in Dewey yesterday morning.
WCJLS Board Member Trevor Dorsey said the event is invaluable to all the young men and women that participate. Dorsey said they'll carry their training with them for the rest of their lives. He said a lot of them go on to have a great career in the agriculture industry or agriculture service.
The fun at the Washington County Junior Livestock Show continues today. The Goat Show will get things started at 9:00 a.m. The Cattle Show will follow at 3:00 p.m. Pre Junior Mini Hereford Show will be followed by the Breeding Heifer Show. Then an hour-long break will take place before the Market Steer Show.
Participant Braden Adcock said he and his brother have been preparing their heifers for quite some time for Friday's Cattle Show. He said they're feeling pretty good about showing their heifers going into this year's event.
A BBQ Dinner starts tomorrow at 5 p.m. and will cost $5. An awards presentation will follow at 6:30 p.m. and a premium sale at 7 p.m.
