4-H Livestock Awards Results from the Ulster County Fair

Each year Ulster County 4-H Youth members gather at the Ulster County Fair Grounds to show livestock that they have raised and cared for. Youth and their 4-H project animal are evaluated. The awards/ribbons include Grand Champion, Best of Show, Excellent, Good, and Worthy. In Showmanship youth are judged on how they handle their animal and their knowledge of the species. The animal which most closely meets the particular standards for the class is ultimately awarded Grand Champion. All the animals presented to the judges are raised as a part of the 4-H Animal Science Program.
