Park County Fair Herdsmanship Rules
Being a good Herdsman and a good steward of livestock and agriculture is very rewarding and it takes a lot of hard work. Most of the time it is an everyday job. Bo Gribble was an excellent Herdsman and Steward of livestock and ranching in Park County himself. This award is named in his behalf and is awarded to a great Herdsman each year at the Park County Fair.
