Stockdale Champ At Polled
KANSAS CITY. Mo.—
Bringing Polled Hereford youth
into the spotlight and preparing
them as future breed leaders was
the goal and the outcome of the
2? nit Junior National Polled Here
ford Show and Forum held in
Louisville, Ky.
Participation was at an all-time
high for the breed, with last year’s
record-setting numbers smashed
by the 1995 turnout of 726 head,
Polled Hcrefords were paraded
through the ring by 402 juniors
representing 32 states. This
surpassed last year’s all-time
record by more than 70 head.
In addition to the cattle show,
youth and their families had a
wide array of competitive, educa
tional and entertaining activities to
fill the days and evenings. Even
though the temperatures outside
passed the century mark, the cool
bam kept spirits and enthusiasm at
a peak all week long. Unity among
families, unity among state com
petitors and the uniting of friends
horn throughout the country were
central themes. It was a week to
learn, a week to compete, and
most of all. a week to enjoy.
“Show For The Roses” was the
motto for the July 8-13 show
hosted by Polled Hereford breed
ers in Kentucky, Ohio and India
na. Evaluating the cattle were lead
judge Greg McCurry of Sedg
wick, Kan., and associate judge
Ernie Wallace of Leeton, Mo.
A new feature of this year’s
event was the separation of the
heifers bred and owned by the
junior exhibitors and the heifers
owned, but not bred, by the exhi
bitors. Taking the grand champ
ionship in the 107-head bred-and
owned competition was K.C. Kef
fer of CrawfordsvUlc, Ind., with
KCK Nicholette 2D. This was a
second-generation win for K.C.,
as Nicholette’s dam, KCK Lucky
Penny, was selected as K.C.’s
16th Junior National bred-and
owned champion in 1989.
Nicholette, who won Division ID,
is an April 1994 heifer sired by

show.
The cow-calf competition is a
supeib opportunity for juniors to
bring back the results of their heif
er projects from earlier years. Of
this year’s lineup, 25 of the 41
cows had been shown in previous
Junior Nationals. The grand
