Successful week
Lampasas County FFA members were awarded fifth-place honors in the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo's Good Herdsman Award competition. FFA members were evaluated throughout the week on the cleanliness and attractiveness of their junior steer stall area. They were recognized at the Reliant Center and earned a $100 certificate as one of the top 10 groups. Additionally, four FFA members placed in the junior show. Shawna Holloman had a third-place Hereford steer, and Ashton Holloman's Charolais steer took seventh. Lucas Atkinson showed his Simmental steer to an eighth-place finish, and Bailey Millican's shorthorn steer took eighth.
