Students show livestock animals for a variety of reasons, usually it is for the purpose of raising “market” animals- which will go into our food chain, or “breeding” animals which students use to increase their herds and grow a business.
Cash Stutes exhibited his Registered Limousin Heifer at all of the major livestock shows in Texas, Cattleman’s Congress in Oklahoma and several other shows nationally this year as a 3rd grader. He wrapped up the year winning Champion Exotic heifer at the Panola County Junior Livestock Show and with a 6th place finish in Houston.
Congrats, Cash!
