Each year cattle exhibitors are evaluated on their presentation during the NILE Stock Show. The criteria for winning is based on: cleanliness of stall area, observance of rules and regulations, cooperation with show officials, sportsmanship to other exhibitors, and knowledge of breed/s being shown. Those that exemplify these attributes win the use of a Wilson Trailer from K.R. Rauch for a year.-- NILE
