K-State students earn honors at Little American RoyalKansas Livestock fitting and showmanship skills earned several Kansas State University students honors at K-State's 80th annual Little American Royal.

It is sponsored by K-State Block and Bridle and the K-State Dairy Science Club. K-State students of all majors could participate.
