Livestock show

Joe Don Patterson and Sade Rae Cobb exhibited the top animals in the Beef Division during the annual Donley County Junior Livestock Show last Saturday at the Clarendon Community Center.

Patterson’s Grand Champion Steer was purchased by the Donley County State Bank, and 3-H Cattle Co. had the winning bid for Cobb’s Grand Champion Heifer.

Other top winners were Dalton Askew and his Grand Champion Lamb, purchased by the Herring National Bank; Ronna Edwards and her Grand Champion Goat, purchased by the Donley County Buyers Club; Justin Dillman’s Grand Champion Gilt, bought by 3-H Cattle Co.; and Sade Rae Cobb’s Grand Champion Barrow, also purchased by 3-H Cattle Co.

Sixty-seven local young people from the Donley County 4-H Club and local FFA chapters showed 109 animals. Last year, 82 exhibitors showed 113 animals at show.

As of Tuesday morning, figures showed the sale brought in $34,000. That number may increase in the final tally as more donations are received. Last year, the sale raised an estimated $31,000.

In the Beef Division, Joe Don Patterson received the Senior Showmanship award, and the Junior Showmanship award went to Sade Ray Cobb.

Ronna Edwards took home the Senior Showmanship honors in both the Swine Division and the Lamb Division. Dalton Askew got the Junior Showmanship for Lambs, and Ashley Petty received the Junior Showmanship for Swine.
