County’s youth bring home top awards from State Fair

Greybull brought home a Reserve Champion in Theodore Edelman of the Greybull FFA club in the Youth Breeding Goat Junior Buck Kid division. Edelman also won the Reserve Champion Buck. 

Lovell’s Charlee Twitchell won first place in the Dairy Goat Showmanship FFA contest. She was also named the Youth Dairy Goat Champion in the Alpine Senior Doe division.

Cowley’s Kimber Bagwell, Big Horn County 4-H, was named the Reserve Champion in Youth Rabbit in the Any Other Six Class Crossbred: Junior Doe category. 

But it was Lovell’s Addisyn Perkins who brought home the most awards. Perkins was named Grand Champion in Youth Market Lambs and won Youth Market Lamb Grand Champion Heavy Weight Market Ewe. She also won Youth Breeding Sheep Reserve Champion Dorset Ewe and the Youth Breeding Sheep Champion Commercial Crossbred Ram.
