February 2, 2024 – Nolan Seale, a FFA member from Shelbyville, captured Grand Champion Heifer and Junior Champion Heifer with LMC/JSSC Augusta 230K in the Junior Simbrah Heifer Show at the 2024 Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo (FWSSR) on January 22. The 2024 Show is hosting junior exhibitors from across Texas competing for awards and more than $34,350 in junior breeding heifer show premiums.
Hosting 4-H and FFA members from 243 of Texas’ 254 counties, the FWSSR takes pride in providing agriculture and livestock production learning opportunities to students competing in livestock shows, judging contests and other competitions. Students have the opportunity to showcase the knowledge and skills gained through raising livestock and preparing for other competitions while competing for premium awards, scholarships and the chance to sell their animals in the Jr. Sale of Champions. Their experiences not only enlighten them on the importance of stewardship and helping feed the world, but also helps provide the resources to attend college and enter exciting career paths.
“Generations of families have competed in the Fort Worth Stock Show, and it remains a cherished rite of passage for many who plan to make agriculture a career or who want to be a part of a school’s team program,” said Stock Show President Brad Barnes. “Even after decades of being involved in this show, I remain in awe of these young people and am more convinced than ever that the agriculture and food production is truly the lifeblood of this great nation.”
