Jacqueline and her mini Hereford Steer King Max. Jacqueline is very proud of Max he received 3rd place in his market class up against all those full size steers weighing in at 810lbs. Jacqueline did very well in showmanship, she advanced to the finals in the junior division and came in 7th place. Jacqueline also placed 3rd in the beef skillathon. What is a skillathon you ask? Youth learn about their animals at all levels, from being able to identify feed types, hay types, identify tools that are used, how to give shots and how to maintain proper records. Way to go Jacqueline.
Edward and Rodeo had a great day, Rodeo came in 4th place in his market class weighing in at 1010lbs.
Show cattle are different than commercial cattle. Show cattle are judged on confirmation, show appeal, soundness, size, weight and how well they work with their handler. Showing cattle is a 365 day a year job. Their is always work to be done with them, from conditioning their hair to proper nutrition and keeping them cool to keeping them stress free.
Show cattle are well conditioned athletes just like any other sport, it is a talent to showing cattle and to watch 5,6,7 year old children showing cattle with a huge smile on their face is heartwarming. Show cattle people seem to be some of the nicest people, they always are willing to lend a hand.
