Heifer, Steer and Breeding Ewe Show.
Exhibiting cattle this year was Alice

were shown by Stormey Coleman,
Marie Blackmar, Patrick Martin and
Alice Kirby. Showing breeding ewes
were Emma Long, Davon Painter and
Mason Sims. Market lambs were exhib
ited by Emma Long, Courtney Painter,
Noland Painter, Davon Painter and
Mason Sims.
Luke was 1st place with his Santa
Gertrudis heifer and Alice won 8th with
her steer.
In the breeding ewe show showman
ship class, Emma was 3rd, Mason won
5th and Davon placed 6th. In their
“breeding” classes Davon was 9th,
Mason won 6th and Emma had a 1 st and
3rd place win.
Alice won 5th and 8th, Stormey had
an 8th place and Marie walked away
with a 7th place market goat.
Pickens County 4-H dominated the
Market Lamb Show. In Showmanship,
Noland was Champion 1st Grade Show

In their Market classes, Emma won

In the final drive of the show, Mason
was awarded the Overall Grand Cham

Champion. Davon walked away with
the 3rd Overall Market Lamb. The kids
were awarded trophies, plaques, ribbons
and lots of cash for their projects.
The 4-H’ers have put in lots of time
and hard work with their projects for the
2013 season. However, they could not
have had the success they did without
the dedication and support of their par
ents. The kids and Mrs. Kirby would
like to say thank you to their parents for
all their help: Chip and Christy Sims,
Pete and Paige Martin, Jamey and Renee
Coleman, Lyman and Kristen Blackmar,
Matt and Cindy Chastain, Mike and
Christy Painter, Keith and Lena Painter,
Greg and Ann Long and Mark and
Clarcy Kirby.
