Marett Schieber, one of Richland County’s graduating senior 4-H members, knows the power of consistency. In her novice years, she earned the title for the Richland County Fair’s Grand Champion Market Hog, but overall is extremely proud to have always been “in the blue” with her ribbons.
Starting with lambs, Marett had her own breeding ewe group at one point but has since moved onto steers and has shown them for the last 7 years. This year, she will have a market steer and possibly a breeding heifer to show at the Richland County Fair.
The daughter of Gary and Laura Schieber, Marett is also a 4-H Ambassador and Junior Leader. She competes on the Richland County 4-H Livestock Judging Team, and one of her high points was qualifying at 4-H Congress for the National Western Livestock Show in Denver, CO. She has also competed with her teammates at open livestock judging competitions, recently winning the Richland County Livestock Judging. Last October, the team won the NILE Livestock Judging Competition in Billings, with Marett placing 8th individually.
Outside of livestock, Marett enjoys sewing and quilting, and has completed three quilts throughout her years in 4-H. She will be entering a t-shirt quilt as her indoor project for the fair.
After graduation, Marett plans on attending Northwest College, Powell, WY, and will continue to compete on their livestock judging team while working towards a degree in ag business.
