Tate Beard, a member of the Scotts sod busters 4-H Club, had a banner day at the Henry County Fair, earning both Grand Champion and Reserve Champion honors in the breeding ewe division.

Beard, the son of Philip and Katie Beard, brought two standout animals to the ring

 

Securing first and second place is no small feat, and Beard says it reflects the many hours of hard work and dedication behind the scenes.

But he’s not done yet. Tate will be back in the show ring later this week with his market wethers.

As the fair continues, Beard’s determination and strong showing are setting a high bar for the rest of the competition — and proving that commitment and care behind the barn doors can lead to big moments in the spotlight.
