The livestock Premier Exhibitor competition is a unique educational opportunity provided to the top junior market livestock exhibitors.  Each year, a total of 95 participants (out of the almost 1200) from the junior market goat, lamb, swine & steer shows qualify to sell their animal in the Junior Livestock Auction. This elite set of kids are then required to take an industry-related quiz, give a 2-minute speech on an industry-related topic and complete an interview with a panel of judges. Other components included in their overall Premier Exhibitor score include their live placing, showmanship placing & participation, and the carcass quality of their market animal. Divisions included in each species are Young Premier Exhibitor (ages 12 & under) and Senior Premier Exhibitor (ages 13-18). Although the Young division winners receive a banner and plaque, the Senior Champion & Reserve Champions in each species are awarded $2,000 and $1,000 scholarships respectively.
