Everyone had the chance to learn about and practice showmanship with the following species:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li class=\"wsu-spacing-before--sxxsmall wsu-spacing-after--sxxsmall\">Beef Cattle<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wsu-spacing-before--sxxsmall wsu-spacing-after--sxxsmall\">Sheep<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wsu-spacing-before--sxxsmall wsu-spacing-after--sxxsmall\">Swine<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wsu-spacing-before--sxxsmall wsu-spacing-after--sxxsmall\">Dairy Goat<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wsu-spacing-before--sxxsmall wsu-spacing-after--small\">We all had a great time learning from some experts in showmanship and experiencing what it takes to get your animal fair-ready. A special thank you to our presenters, the Toth Family from Skagit County and Sienna Traynor (SJC 4-H Alum), for sharing their expertise. It was very exciting to see a large number of the livestock animals that will be exhibited at the fair, including four beef, nine lambs, and five hogs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A huge thank you to all of the leaders, volunteers, and parents who helped make the event a success. Thanks to the San Juan County Fairgrounds for providing access to the Marie Boe Building for Fair Entry support, for providing staff to assist in getting the 4-H arena tent raised and to the Honeywell Charitable Foundation for their financial support. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading  wsu-font-size--xxmedium\">Next Learning Opportunities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While we don&#8217;t have any learning opportunities on the calendar currently, Clinton would be happy to make a visit to your club meeting to provide fair support in registration, showmanship, and answer any fair-related questions about what to expect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;d like one-on-one support please reach out to the extension office or attend one of the fair entry support zoom sessions that will be scheduled shortly. <\/p>\n\n<\/div>\r\n\n\n<div class=\"wsu-column\"  style=\"\">\r\n\t\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"792\"
