Show Ring Days…Throwback Thursday


I was a 10 year 4-H member as a kid. If you are not familiar with 4-H I encourage you to check it out – it is a program for youth (ages vary across the country from 8-18 or 9-19). While there are livestock projects, there is also robotics, rocketry, sewing and fashion review, interior designs, fisheries and wildlife, and so much more!

Today my throwback Thursday are a couple shots in the show ring my last year in 4-H (1997). My sister and I worked hard with our homegrown animals and as a result we often did well.

This show was in Bishop, California and we had to wear the official 4-H uniform: dark jeans and boots, long sleeve white shirt, green tie, and a 4-H hat.

Bishop-1
My steer “Lu” short for Lucifer (yes, he was quite the handful) was a class winner. My sister and her steer were right behind us in the second place spot.
Bishop-2
In another class, my sister was the class winner with her steer, and I was in the second spot with “Sisco”, who went on to become the Nevada State Fair Champion later that summer!

What are your favorite 4-H memories? If you don’t yet have any, it is never to late to get involved – as a kid or adult!

  1. Throwback Thursday pics are great! This brings a lot of memories back as well with showing heifers and steers right along side of my brothers in the showring. They are the best years of my life with the special pets, hard work and rewards at the end. Our family time together was great and enjoyed being around other 4-H and FFA families. Glad my kids also had the 4-H experience:) Susan Yoesel Lehmkuhl, Hiawatha, KS
