Herdsman Award
Important Information for Senior Exhibitors: Herdsman Award
As a senior exhibitor, you are eligible to be considered for the Herdsman Award. This year, we've made some adjustments to the Herdsman Award. The Herdsman Award is given to a Senior exhibitor who upholds the honor and integrity of a future cattleman in order to support them in their future endeavors. The applicant needs to show passion, a positive attitude, willingness to help adults and other exhibitors alike wherever needed, and a diligent work ethic; their pride in their cattle both at home and in the show ring, workspace, and general demeanor should be evident.
