Farris, Hommel top beef divisions

Caden Farris and Tres Hommel exhibited the top animals in the Beef Division during the annual Donley County Junior Livestock Show last Saturday at the new Donley County Activity Center.

Farris exhibited the Grand Champion Steer; and Hommel had the Grand Champion Heifer.
Other top winners were Brenden Hough and his Grand Champion Lamb; Kylie Phillips’ Grand Champion Goat, Katie Adams’ Grand Champion Swine, and Hannah Hommel with her Grand Champion Gilt.

A total of 70 young people from the Donley County 4-H Club and local FFA chapters showed 105 animals. Last year 68 kids showed 106 animals.

Figures show that the sale brought in about $60,000, which according to Donley County Extension Agent Leonard Haynes is the best sale that they have ever had. That number may increase in the final tally as more donations are received.
