Seth Kuda, 15, "did pretty good for a day," he said after taking Grand Champion, Reserve Grand Champion and Senior Showman in the market goat show Tuesday.

After showing goat three years with 4-H, this year Kuda showed as an FFA member.

He walks his goats every day to build muscle and experience has taught him how to set up a goat for the show judge.

Kuda's goal next year is to show at the Missouri State Fair.

The money he received from selling his Grand Champion at the livestock auction will go toward feed and caretaking of next year's animals, he said.
