The Spirit Award, sponsored by Champion Show Stock, recognizes five young exhibitors who display good sportsmanship, herdsmanship, and a strong work ethic.

Throughout the weekend, a selection committee in the barns watches for juniors who deserve extra recognition. Pictured with Sean Isaacson of Champion Show Stock are the 2018 winners.
