Start 'Em Early; A Livestock Exhibitor Experience with Broc Spear

He's about 3 foot tall and weighs far less than a sack of feed, but don't let his size fool you. Five year old Broc Spear was all heart in the showring today at New Mexico State Fair in Albuquerque, NM. Mr. Spear has been showing cattle for two years now, and he seems to have this winning thing down to an art. When I asked him if he'd won any ribbons today he said, "Oh yeah! I've got lots of those". Today Spear exhibited two heifers in the Open New Mexico Bred Show. He excitedly informed me that their names were Isabella and Red, White and BOOM! Isabella was shown in class 13 which was a Junior Yearling class. There she won a second place and a reserve champion. The tiny, but patriotic Red, White and BOOM was exhibited in class 10 which was a summer yearling class. She is also going home with a second place ribbon and a reserve champion banner.

Mr. Spear is excited about the fair and hopes to continue his showman career for many years to come. Broc Spear, we wish you the best of luck and congratulate you on your success thus far!
