The Champaign County Fair Junior Dairy Show and Dairy Showmanship competition took place Monday morning.
Kaleb Ponds won the Supreme Champion Cow honors while Kolten Eades earned the Supreme Champion Heifer award.
For Ponds, this was his final year showing cattle, and he has nothing but gratitude for the people who helped him along the way.
It is quite the opposite for Eades, who is only in his second year showing his calves. He and his dad both still believe that Kolten can get better.
Kendall Thomas was given the Showman of Showman 1st place title.
