Taylor's Stock Show Season

This was our oldest grand child's second year to show steers.  For a ten year old he has become a much better showman this past season, having shown at the State Fair in Dallas, the Heart of Texas in Waco, the Hamilton County Fair, Ft. Worth, San Antonio, San Angelo, Austin and Houston.  Experience is the best teacher and he did a good job getting his steers shown.

He fared much better this year especially at County and at the Star of Texas show in Austin.  He showed a Hereford, a Charolais and an AOB at county.  He placed second with two of them and won his class with the Charolais.  This steer went on to be named the Reserve Grand Champion.  He won a nice belt buckle and also won a special award honoring a former 4-H member for the best fitted and presented steer.  He also sold a premium on this steer during the sale which will help pay for some of his feed bills!

This same steer won his class at the Star of Texas Show and he was able to sell the steer during the premium sale which was held at the Bob Bullock State History of Texas Museum.
