August 11 .199 9 4-H herdsmanship has new format Superintendents make fair run smoothly This year for the first time in many years herdsmanship will not be a contest. It will be handled as total cooperation between beef, sheep, swine and small animal participants. "It should be stressed that this does not mean that herdsmanship is not important," said Bill Broderick, Morrow County Extension agent. "It is one of the critical parts of the livestock program that must happen at fair. By handling herdsmanship with cooperation instead of a contest, 4-H members, leaders, and parents should be able to enjoy working together and make the whole animal exhibit area a success.” With the contest there was one "winner," said Broderick. This year, everyone will be "winners," he said, because an ice cream social has been planned Saturday afternoon (time to be announced at fair) for everyone. "The ultimate "winner" should be the "public" as it is hoped we all will do a better job of herdsmanship," Brodenck said. A fair could not run without the volunteer help of superintendents. They set up the display area before the fair, take exhibits, help the judge, place ribbons on entries and enter everything in the books so exhibitors will get their premium money. All this gets very confusing at times, but they try their best to greet everyone with a smile and to answer questions. This year you will see familiar and new faces working as superintendents. The fair board appreciates their effort: "We couldn't do it without them," says LaRae Kindle, fair secretary. V W s /s /s s s s /rs /s /s s //s jr//////w */y * ON FARM SERVICE "Have Cleaner.
