This past week, September 14th-20th, was the Tulare County Fair. Strathmore FFA had three exhibitors: Hayley Tharp with beef cattle, Tyson Brem with market goats and hogs, and Amanda Farquharson with hogs. All three exhibitors did an outstanding job, placing well in their breeding and market classes. Tyson Brem was awarded Champion FFA Crossbred, and Reserve FFA Champion for his crossbred market hog, and Grand Champion Commercial Doe for his Boer goat. Hayley Tharp won 1st place in the Carcass Contest with her Market Steer. In showmanship, all three did outstanding. Amanda Farquharson received 5th place in Advanced Hog Showmanship, Hayley Tharp took 1st in Experienced Beef Showmanship, and Tyson Brem was 1st in Advanced Market Goat Showmanship. Hayley and Tyson were eligible to move on to Round Robin Showmanship, where they got to compete in showmanship with all the large animal species, and both took 1st place in their divisions. Congratulations to our three exhibitors, you represented Strathmore FFA well!
