ANGOLA â Things got started early Monday in Rensch Hall with the 2021 started calf show, judged by Matt Taylor, taking to the show arena.
The show was kicked off with Mini 4-H member Karringten Betts taking his turn to show, getting some showmanship practice now before he is old enough to be eligible for the full 4-H program.
From there, several exhibitors strutted their stuff, showing off their calves that weighed anywhere from 191 pounds at the lightest to 483 pounds at the heaviest, and it was a calf shown by Caylee Bachelor that came out as the best of the best.
There were three classes of lightweight calves, three of medium weight calves and two heavyweight calf classes to make up the show as well as classes for senior, intermediate and junior showmanship.
ANGOLAÂ â Periodic downpours didn t stop the festivities Friday as new royalty was crowned as part of the opening ceremony for the 2021 Steuben County 4-H Fair.
New fair royalty includes Miss Steuben County 2021 Grace Emberton, Little Miss Steuben County Lydia Wilhelm and Little Mister Steuben County Rogan Feller.
Alexis Treesh was named Miss Congeniality in the 2021 Miss Steuben County pageant that saw just three competitors this year. Also competing was Katie Stoy. It is so exciting to be here in person, said Miss Steuben County 2019 Abby Stoy. This year s queen is about to be very, very busy.
Abby s reign ended up lasting two years because the COVID-19 pandemic canceled the 2020 pageant.Â
