Cobb, Patten top beef exhibitors

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

Cobb’s Grand Champion Steer was purchased by Bill Bennett; and Patten’s Grand Champion Heifer was purchased by Community Bank, Clarendon Outpost, Shelton Law Office and Floyd’s Automotive.

Other top winners were Kenzie Perryman and her Grand Champion Lamb, purchased by Clarendon College; Brooke Martin’s Grand Champion Goat was purchased by Evans Fertilizer and Crowfoot Cattle; the Grand Champion Swine shown by Seth Koetting was purchased by Hobb Earth Moving.

A total of 73 young people from the Donley County 4-H Club and local FFA chapters showed 106 animals. Last year 76 kids showed 103 animals.

As of Monday morning, figures showed the sale brought in approximately $40,000, an increase from the $32,500 raised last year. That number may increase in the final tally as more donations are received.
