The Lincoln County 4-H Livestock Judging team hosted their first contest in Lincoln County in 9 years! We had 74 participants from several counties competing in both Jr and Sr divisions. Judgers from Lincoln County were Evan Brent, Asha Thompson, Tressie Golding, Paisley Wiersma, Jace Stone, Reagan Schinzel, Filomena Poss, Joseph Ferree, Duke Ferree, Lily Ferree, Chisum Pope, Trinity Engelbrecht, Ryedell Schinzel, Bailey Nuss, Heidi Nuss, Charlotte Brent, Maelle Frasier and Easton Fisher. Both the Junior and Senior teams won High Team Overall! There were a lot of individual awards as well. Unique to our county was a horse judging class that the judgers enjoyed sorting, along with beef, hogs, sheep and goats. This was the last regular contest of the year and seniors will compete at state in June.

The Seniors brought home 2nd in hogs, 6th in sheep/goats & beef, 5th in reasons and 5th overall. In Montrose, the Juniors again brought home 2nd overall! They were also 1st in beef, 5th in sheep/goats, 2nd in placings and questions, 6th in reasons. The Seniors had their best contest yet, placing 3rd overall! They were 3rd in sheep/goats, 2nd in swine, 3rd in beef, 6th in placings, 2nd in questions and 4th in reasons. These contests have over 100 kids each so we're super proud of our Lincoln County kids!

Today was a beautiful day for High Plains Bucking LLC to host their mini bull riding event. Lincoln County's Jace Poss was our local contestant along with 20+ youth from the Front Range and Eastern Colorado competing for high scores as well. It was nice to see Hockett's Homemade providing delicious food and drink for the good-sized crowd! The next mini bull riding event will be held Saturday, May 16. Hope to see you there!
