NDSU Saddle And Sirloin To Host 100th Annual Little International Event

NDSU’s Saddle and Sirloin club is gearing up to host its biggest and longest running tradition of the year, the Little International Livestock Show, set for Saturday, Feb. 14, in NDSU’s Shepperd Arena. This year marks the 100th anniversary of the largest student-sponsored event on campus.

Linnea Axtman, a senior business administration student, is serving as Little I Queen on the royalty court alongside Little I Princesses, Windy Jacobson and Montana Martinson.

“Serving as the 100th Little International Queen is truly an incredible honor, and I’m extremely grateful for the opportunity,” said Axtman, who is from Fargo. “It’s humbling to be part of a tradition that has carried on for more than a century, and to represent a show that means so much to the NDSU community. Little I showcases the dedication, community and pride that define the animal agriculture industry here at NDSU, and I’m proud to help uphold and celebrate that legacy this year.”

The annual livestock show features showmanship classes of beef, dairy, sheep, swine and goats, as well as lamb lead, ham curing and public speaking.
