During the Highland County Fair, students who showed animals competed in the Junior Fair shows and showmanship. Students who won their species showmanship moved to the Showman of Showmen contest.
This is a contest where showmen show all species of animals, including beef cattle, dairy cattle, pigs, sheep, goats, poultry, rabbits, dogs, horses and alpacas, taking place at 2 p.m. on the last Friday of the fair.
Representing Hillsboro Great Oaks FFA, and winning the Alpaca showmanship, was Dalayna Collins, and winning the Beef Cattle showmanship was Emma Yochum. Yochum went on to win the Showman of Showmen Contest.
