FORT WORTH - Brayden DeBorde, a 4-H member from Ellis County, exhibited the
first place Limousin in the Junior Heifer Show at the 2012 Fort Worth Stock Show
& Rodeo on Sunday, Jan. 22.
The 2012 Show is proud to be hosting nearly 10,000 junior exhibitors from across
Texas, competing for prizes and $94,065 in premiums.
Since 1896, the Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo has remained a prominent figure in
the livestock industry.
The nation’s oldest livestock show will see nearly 22,000 head of world-class
livestock roll through “cowtown” between Jan. 13 - Feb. 4.
While the show is continually looking ahead, the focus on the livestock industry
and our youth is unwavering.
“One of the Show’s main priorities is our commitment to the livestock
industry and the agriculture leaders of tomorrow,” said Bradford S. Barnes,
President and General Manager of the Fort Worth Stock Show.
“Junior exhibitors learn many valuable life lessons during their years of
showing livestock, which will serve them well throughout their lives.
“Our show ensures a progressive future for agriculture by assisting in the
development and education of 4-H and FFA students.”
The 116th edition of the legendary Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo offers visitors
