THREE CY CREEK STUDENTS RUSTLE UP A WIN AT THE HLSR CALF SCRAMBLE

Chase Smith, Caleb Moritz and Jacob Shafer each caught a calf at this year's Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo Calf Scramble. At each Rodeo performance, 30 scramble participants line up to compete and catch one of the 14 calves. Eligible scramblers come from counties throughout Texas and must be active in their local FFA chapter or 4-H club. Youngsters scramble to catch a calf, halter it and lead the calf back to the winner’s square. Recipients receive a $1,500 certificate to purchase a breeding beef heifer or market steer they will raise and return to exhibit at the following year’s Show. Upon returning, if the exhibitor completes the requirements of the program, they receive the remaining $250. Scramblers are expected to maintain accounting records, submit monthly progress reports to their donors and complete two essays throughout the year. We are proud of our three Cy Creek winners!
