We have two Gary FFA/4-H Members in Oklahoma City this week competing at the Cattleman's Congress Heifer Show with their Registered Lim-Flex Heifers. This show is a national level show and is open to all students in the country that are members of 4-H & FFA from 3rd-12th grades.
Cash Stutes and Caitlynn Ayers will exhibit their heifers today (1/7) and Wednesday (1/8) against competition from across the country. Heifer "classes" are based on the age and breed of the heifer. These cattle are raised here in Gary, Texas and come from one of the top Limousine breeders in Texas, Red Rock Limousine owned by Lee & Julie Osborn. Our students raise, feed, halter-break and train these cattle daily to prepare them for this show and the livestock shows here in Texas throughout the year.
Raising registered show cattle allows breeders and exhibitors to participate in breed shows, maintain detailed pedigree information, see breeding stock at a high price and contribute to the improvement of a specific breed by selecting animals that meet strict quality standards set by their breed associations.
I know both of these students would LOVE for you to watch them!!
