Before COVID hit I went to Abilene for my then 8 yr old grandson's first big junior livestock show. My grandson was tall but weighed probably 50 lbs soaking wet. His steer weighed about 800 lbs. some of the kids were even smaller than him. There were some problems with control but on balance they were amazing. The whole tone of the event was designed to encourage and instill responsibility, respect, and Love of God and country.I am not a Hereford person but I have much respect for the hours of work and the effort required to bring the cattle in
the photo to this point. The young man looks proud and rightfully so. This industry needs young people with the
dedication implied in the photo.
These are the kids make me hopeful for the future of our country.
