XTRA Update!

Hey everybody!

Jordan Gatz in the relay game
Sorry for the delay on the XTRA update; it’s been a crazy couple of weeks. Between my senior trip, having my wisdom teeth taken out, harvest and prepping for Junior Nationals, I’ve been everywhere but home!
            We had a great turn out at our Spring Preview XTRA show this year, including lots of visitors from Nebraska, including the Nebraska Hereford Queen and my good friend Miss Makayla Rutt. She was around to help out with handing out awards while I was showing, which is much appreciated!

            Our kids, as usual, have compiled a fantastic showing of cattle and I look forward to seeing how they compete at Junior Nationals. Also, a BIG thank you is in order to our wonderful adviser, Miss Sue Roland, for all the great work she does. We couldn’t do it without you!

We also had many contests taking place. Congratulations to all of our kids who competed in informative speeches, photography, posters and showmanship! You all never cease to impress me!
I can’t wait to see you all in Grand Island at the Junior National Hereford Expo! I will be sure to keep the blog and the Facebook page up-to-date throughout the week of all KJHA members activities!
See you soon!
