Groves Tops State 4-H Dairy Judging Contest for 2nd Year

Bailey Groves bested brother Grant Groves in the senior division of the Missouri State 4-H Dairy Judigng Contest. The contest was held August 18th at the Missouri State Fair in Sedalia.

Groves, daughter of Todd and Sheila Groves of Billings, was high individual in Ayrshires, Guernseys and Jerseys while finishing second in Holsteins and oral reasons. Second high individual in the senior division was Grant Groves of Billings. Groves, the son of Todd and Sheila Groves was first in Holsteins and oral reasons, and second in Ayrshires and Guernseys. Third high individual was Blake Wright of Verona. Wright, the son of Larry and Jodi Wright, was third in Ayrshires, Guernseys, Holsteins and oral reasons. Rounding out the top five were Kelsie Grimm of Aurora and Nicolas Dotson of Marionville.

In a tight intermediate division, Lila Wantland of Niangua was the high individual and Whitney Yerina of Conway was second high individual. The two tied for overall score, but the tie breaker gave Wantland the edge. Rounding out the top five were Molly Archer of Falcon, Kylie Scrivner of Ava, and Logan Archer of Falcon.

Teagan Hardy of Steelville was high individual in the junior division, followed by Tyson Droste of Lancaster in second, Molly Melzer of Harrisonville in third, Monique Turner of Springfield in fourth and Ada Bluel of Monett in fifth.

The contestants placed six classes and gave two sets of reasons. The top three individuals in each breed received cash prizes sponsored by the Missouri breed associations. The top ten individuals in each division received rosettes from the Missouri State Fair, and the top four individuals in each division received a plaque from the Missouri State Fair and supporters of the contest. Contestants, their families, and exhibitors who provided cattle for the event were the guests at a Junior Dairymen’s Barbeque sponsored by Midwest Dairy Association, Missouri State Fair, Missouri Cattlemen’s Association, MFA, Dairy Farmers of America, and Hiland Dairy.

Animals MUST be shown throughout the entire class by a junior to qualify for points in the Junior All-Missouri contest.
A certificate of Registration on each animal must be available for review by show staff at any time. Animal’s registration will be checked with Holstein USA before any award is given.

It is important for juniors also to get their state dues paid on time, with the correct address, phone number and email address. This is the information we utilize to contact you throughout the year regarding awards, programs, activities, etc. We do not want you to miss out on an event because we did not have your accurate information. State membership fees are due by March 15. If your household only has junior members (no adult membership) then you might want to consider adding a Mid-States Magazine subscription for $5.
