Tony Forthofer!

Stockman of the Day 🦃🐔

Tony went above and beyond tonight during load-out of the market turkeys and chickens! He arrived before load-out even began and stayed in the barns with the Fowl Department, making sure every bird had water before their departure. That extra attention to the little things is exactly what being a Stockman is all about. ❤️

The group had already planned to present Tony with his Stockman of the Day banner when he happened to see another exhibitor’s banner on their pen and asked, “How do I get one of these?” 😂

Little did he know… we already had one waiting in our back pocket for him! 🥰

Congratulations, Tony! Thank you for going above and beyond, taking care of the animals, and being a great example to your fellow exhibitors. Well deserved! 👏🏼🏆

Wednesday Goat Stockman of the Day: William Wesley!

He didn’t just show his goats—he helped throughout the entire Dairy Goat Show while still making sure his own goats were ready to show. 🐐

He stepped up to help fellow exhibitors, lend a hand, and support the show from start to finish. That kind of dedication and sportsmanship is exactly what being a true Stockman is all about! 👏🏼

Great job going above and beyond! 🌟
