Growing up in the Santa Gertrudis breed, I always wanted to serve on the board because the board members helped me so much in the ring and throughout

The 2021 National Santa Gertrudis Junior Show was the largest show in terms of people and cattle that the associa- tion has ever seen. We had nearly 700 head of cattle entered and more than 600 people in attendance June 19-26. We filled up the Four States Fair Grounds in Texarkana, Ark.
