Randolph FFA Premier FFA Livestock Exhibitor at MN State Fair

The Randolph  FFA was named the Premier FFA Livestock Exhibitor at the 2021 Minnesota State Fair for the highest quality of any chapter showing at the state fair. There were 31 Randolph FFA members showing dairy, beef, sheep, goats and swine. In addition two Randolph FFA members competed in the Safe Tractor Operations contest. This is not a first for the Randolph FFA as they also won the award in 2006, 2007, and 2012.

This shows the quality of many species of livestock in our area and also the skill and experience of the FFA members fitting and showing the livestock at the Minnesota State Fair! This is the news release I received form the Randolph FFA recognizing the winners in the different classes and special awards.
