The first livestock event at Inter-State Fair and Rodeo is in the books.

 

The swine show took place at the fair yesterday. Gatlin Scott earned grand champion in the market swine division, with Piper Perkins named reserve.

 

Madelynn Parker earned grand champion for supreme breeding gilt, and Raegan Long was named reserve.

 

The fitting contest also took place yesterday in the livestock arena. The sheep show will take place today, and exhibitor Rian French says it's important to be prepared mentally before you step into the show ring.

 

Other livestock events at the Inter-State Fair and Rodeo today include rabbit, poultry and goat shows.
