National Western Stock Show Catch a Calf
It is time to apply for the 2018-19 National Western Stock Show Catch A Calf Program. This year Nebraska has six young people participating. After catching a calf last January at the NWSS in Denver, they will be showing their Hereford Steers in January.
This is an excellent learning experience for these young livestock leaders. It is more than catching and showing. It is learning how to care and raise these steers coming right from the ranch, and also record keeping, tracking progress, building relationships with sponsors, and strengthening life skills.
For all interested in the beef cattle industry, you are encouraged to consider this opportunity for 4-H members. Applications are also available online at: http://www.nationalwestern.com/livestock-shows/catch-a-calf-contest/ and are due December 1, 2017.
