Eric Phelps received the Herdsman Award for doing the best job of taking care of his livestock, keeping the pens clean and neat, and working well with other students.

 

 The show was well attended by students' friends and family, as well as Agriculture faculty and staff members, Carla Hagan, Ed Fredrickson, and Rick Griebenow. The show would not have been possible without the help of Chad Powers, Matt Collins, Robby Estes, and Ray Marcum who worked long hours to get the barn ready for the show and assist students.
