Premier Showmen 4-H Club member Austin Borhrer showcased his knowledge and dedication to animal science at the 2025 Ohio State Fair, earning the prestigious Clock Trophy for his Veterinary Science project titled "From Airedales to Zebras."
This award recognizes outstanding achievement in one of the fair’s most competitive project areas. Austin’s project is the first in a three-part Veterinary Science series that helps youth learn the basics of animal care and health. Participants explore the needs of animals, examine the functions of body systems, learn how to improve biosecurity at home and on the farm, and become familiar with common veterinary tools.
