The annual Keith Steinbeisser Memorial Livestock Judging Contest was held Sunday, October 12 at the Richland County Fairgrounds. The judging, which used to be held during Ag Days, now takes place in October and gives 4-H members an opportunity to practice their judging skills before the Northern International Livestock Expo (NILE) held in Billings, MT later this month. The judging was moved from Ag Days in January to October because of frigid winter temperatures and conflicts with sports schedules.
Belt buckles sponsored by R&J Ag Supply and the Joe Steinbeisser family were awarded to the top winners of the Senior, Junior and Rookie divisions. Additional prizes included sweatshirts, gift cards and cash, all of which were generously donated by Prewitt and Company, Murdoch's, and Gary and Laura Schieber respectively.
