Local youth wins calf scramble at Stock Show

FORT WORTH — Ri’Ann Miller of Millsap, Texas, a Brock FFA member, was among the winners in the Calf Scramble event during the Jan. 23 evening performance of the Rodeo at the 112th edition of the Southwestern Exposition and Livestock Show.

Parents of the winner are Mark and Andrea Miller. Sponsors for Ri’Ann’s effort are Dick and Kelly Myers, Fort Worth, Texas.

The Calf Scramble, which allows 16 students to compete at each of the 30 Stock Show Rodeo performances, has eight performance winners. The young people are high school students out to catch and halter a calf with hopes of winning a $500 purchase certificate that will help buy a registered beef or dairy heifer for a yearlong 4-H or FFA project.

Winners must care for their animals throughout the year and return for the 2009 Stock Show to exhibit it in the Junior Heifer Show. Those who do the best job will be in line for scholarship funds when they enter college. Last year, scholarship grants were made to 70 young people.

All entries receive a special T-shirt with their contestant number. Participants who fail to catch a calf receive a certificate for a pair of Justin boots. Mrs Baird’s Bakeries and Justin Boots have proudly sponsored this event for many years.

The nation’s oldest livestock show is currently underway now through February 3 at the world-class Will Rogers Memorial Center. The Stock Show features 24 days of family fun and entertainment, and will host over 22,000 livestock entries throughout the run. In addition to the prestigious livestock competitions, the Stock Show offers many interactive educational exhibits, great shopping in the commercial exhibits area as well as an exciting carnival and midway and 30 thrilling performances of the World’s Original Indoor Rodeo. For ticket information on any performance or Stock Show event, call (817) 877-2420 or visit www.fwssr.com.
