The Round Robin is a highlight of the 4-H fair, bringing together top showmen from each livestock species to compete in a unique and challenging event. Participants who have earned champion showman titles in their respective species — such as beef, swine, sheep, dairy, goats, poultry, or horses — go head-to-head to demonstrate their skills across all species, not just their own.
Each contestant rotates through a series of show rings, handling and presenting animals they may not be familiar with. This tests not only their showmanship abilities but also their adaptability, knowledge, and sportsmanship.
The Round Robin is a prestigious event that celebrates the most well-rounded and dedicated livestock exhibitors in the 4-H program. It's a true showcase of versatility, responsibility, and the hard work 4-H members put into learning about animal care and presentation.
