🎡 Good luck at the fair, Madison! 🍀 🐑

Hi, my name is Madison Johnson. I am 12 years old and have been in 4-H for five years. I am a member of Gold Hill Toppers. I have a sheep named Willow that I have been working with for the past 4.5 months. This year is my first year doing market sheep. I have been working very hard on setting up my sheep and feeding her. I learned how to feed her properly and how to set up her. One thing that I love is that she sets up nicely and is cute. Please support El Dorado County 4-H and come to the El Dorado County Fair Junior Livestock Auction 6/20/2026. Registration begins at 8AM and the auction starts at 10AM.

Thank you for your support,
Madison Johnson

Hi! My name is Emmerson Weidert. This is my second year showing and raising swine. It is my sixth year in 4-H. I am in the Latrobe Outlanders Club, and I have been our Correspondence Secretary for the past 4 years.
This year I raised two pigs, Banyon (ear tag #494) and Birch (ear tag #492). I have enjoyed the early mornings and late nights spent feeding, working, and washing my pigs. Every step of the way while raising these pigs I have learned something new which has positively impacted me and my knowledge on swine.

I will be auctioning off one of my pigs at the El Dorado County Fair Junior Livestock Auction. The auction is on Saturday, June 20th. Registration starts at 8:00 and the auction begins at 10:00. I hope to see you there!

Hello! My name is Giverny Alva, I am 17 years old, and this is my second year in 4-H. I am raising a Dorset wether lamb. I have been working hard to ensure that my lamb received the proper exercise, nutrition, and training in order to show at Fair and produce quality meat. I recently took my lamb to a High School Mental Health Day in Sacramento to teach other students about agriculture, livestock, and the positive health benefits of spending time with animals. I want to thank the Shingle Springers 4-H club leaders for their kindness and knowledge. I look forward to seeing you at the fair!
