BROOKINGS, S.D. — Black Friday has an altogether different meaning in Miner County where showing cattle the day after Thanksgiving has been a Miner County tradition for the past 37 years. 2018 was once again a success.
The show, held November 23, 2018 at the 4-H Grounds in Howard, boasted 35 4-H show cattle as well as a total of 164 open class entries shown by exhibitors who represented counties across South Dakota as well as the states of Wyoming, Minnesota and Iowa.
“This show continues to be a well-received event and draws families to Howard on a busy holiday weekend,” said Maria Feldhaus, Miner County 4-H Youth Program Advisor with SDSU Extension.
Judge Jordan Vandermolen of Pella, Iowa evaluated calves, named the top-five individual steers and heifers, 4-H Champions and evaluated the Pen-of-Three event.
