Buddies will be responsible for assisting their participant in the Livestock Show Arena and showing them around until the start of the show (about 1 hour). During that time, the participant may walk around to any species and brush, pet, walk, or do anything else the exhibitor is comfortable with. Regardless, they must be at the Livestock Show Arena 5 minutes before the start of the show.

Buddies may also be assigned to help get the awards together, prepare animals, or organize the Livestock Show Arena. These buddies are essential to the success and operation of the show, making sure everything is running smoothly behind the scenes.

If your animal is able to be used for the show, please talk to Tonya Poncik, your ag teacher, or a committee member no later than weigh-in.
