Oakes, North Dakota native Lynsey Schmitz got creative showing livestock during the COVID-19 pandemic. Her family hosted a hog show called Showdown on the Red in Fargo. “We had people from five different states and more than 200 pigs.” There were other shows to attend this summer, too. While the North Dakota State Fair was cancelled, exhibitors were invited to attend the COVID Clash Junior Livestock Show. “They had humongous a tent with the panels from the state fair,” said Schmitz. “It was probably one of the best run shows I’ve attended this year.” Schmitz is a sophomore, attending the North Dakota State College of Science.
