PROJECTS
FFA Show Steer — 2 Steer, Hereford x Charolais and Angus x Charolais
In October of 2023, I purchased 2 steers from the Dixon Land and Livestock Club Calf Auction. Since October I have worked diligently with my cattle, calculating their grain intake, grooming their hair to be “show quality”, teaching these animals to set in show position and training them behaviorally for our time in the ring. I have competed in the Jr Livestock show with both of my calves, placing 3rd in my class with the hereford x charolais and getting a blue ribbon in showmanship.
