Local entrants collect Jr. Stock Show honors

The Junior Livestock Show of Spokane during the first week of May saw almost 500 animals sold by youth from across four states.

“Whitman County kids did well, especially when you look at how many animals were sold there and the fact that we had exhibitors from Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana there,” said Lisa Baser, LaCrosse FFA advisor who also serves as junior show second vice president of the board of directors.

In the beef barn Ainslee Imler of Colfax won Reserve Grand Champion Junior 4H Showman and Perry Imler of Colfax won Grand Champion FFA freshman/sophomore showman.
