During the 2019 Highland County Fair, the Hillsboro FFA had five members exhibit beef. Members participated in showmanship, skillathon and the open and junior shows. Those who exhibited were Joe Helterbrand, Lawton Parry, Gavin Puckett, Griffin Puckett and Mallory Parsons.
On Tuesday, Sept. 3, members participated in the beef showmanship contest. This contest is based on courtesy shown to the other showmen, how well the animal is presented and how knowledgeable the exhibitor is concerning their animal. Parsons got second place in her division.
Following showmanship was County Born and Bred Fat steers. This year, Parry won Reserve Grand Champion County Born and Bred Fat Steer.
