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.
