BROOKINGS – Above, goat showmen Drew Pederson of the Oakwood Owls 4-H Club and Hannah Skovly of the Medary Creek Beavers 4-H Club lead their registered breeding meat goats into the show ring at the Swiftel Center during Brookings County 4-H Achievement Days on Thursday.

Pederson showed two goats, one of which was chosen as the Grand Champion of the class overall.

Both showmen earned purple ribbons for the quality of their goat 4-H projects and showmanship in the ring and advance to the State Fair in Huron.

Below, Zachary Shultz, No. 4, helps a fellow showman fit a goat for the meat goat show at Achievement Days on Thursday morning.

Teamwork is a valuable part of what 4-H teaches kids, and the goat showmen served as an example of that. Schultz is a member of the Bruce Honey Bees 4-H Club.
