The 97th Little International was organized by the NDSU Saddle and Sirloin Club and held at Shepperd Arena on the NDSU campus.
“The Little International Livestock Show is the largest student-run event on the NDSU campus, involving over 300 students,” said Lydia Lyons, Little I publicity chair and a senior in agribusiness from Lisbon, North Dakota. “The show features showmanship classes of beef, dairy, sheep, swine and goats as well as ham curing and public speaking contests.”
The overall showman is determined using a round-robin contest where each species’ overall showman is required to show all other species.
Local winner in the Beef category was Hope Willson, Wimbledon, North Dakota, senior in animal science, daughter of Joel and Kristi Willson.
The show also included a novice division of showmanship for individuals who have never competitively shown their species. Local winner in Dairy category was Madison Feiring, McHenry, North Dakota, freshman in animal science, daughter of Janell Feiring.
