Castle Country Classic Livestock Show Returns

Carbon and Emery youth competed in the Castle Country Classic Livestock Show on June 22 and 23 in Ferron. Over $3,500 in cash prizes as well as 58 belt buckles were awarded following two days of competition.

This year’s judge was Kaley Pieper from Fowler, Colorado. Pieper has been involved in the livestock industry from an early age, participating in the Future Farmers of America program, 4H livestock judging, and showing sheep, pigs, and cattle. She earned associate degrees in Ag Communication and Animal Science from Casper College.

The show began with weigh-ins on Thursday morning. The exhibitor meeting followed along with goat, lamb, steer and hog showmanship. Peewee showmanship took place after each species. On Friday, showings included market hogs, steer, lamb and goat.
