The young 4-Her won one of the fair’s most prestigious competition in her first year competing.
“It feels great,” she said of the triumph.
And it was a repeat for the family, Raygan’s older sister, Addelynn Evans, won the same title in her debut year in 2023.
Addelynn continued her wins this year, earning the title of junior showman in the market steer competition, with senior showman being awarded to Kynslie Moore, who also won reserve champion in the market steer competition.
In the beef breeding competition, the grand champion was Izzy Phillips, who was competing in honor of her father, Aaron Phillips, who died from glioblastoma in March. Members of her family and supporters all wore shirts in his honor, and her animal’s stall featured a banner dedicated to him.
The reserve champion in that competition was Tanner Fraley.
