In week 2 of the Houston Livestock Show's breeding show, Lampasas County FFA members were successful.

Nolan Ramon took second with his red Brangus, Bryce Ramon's red Brangus was fifth, and Lucas Atkinson and his Charolais heifer placed fourth.

In an earlier show, Lampasas FFA steer exhibitors received a fifth-place award and a $100 check as one of 10 Good Herdsman award winners.

Students showing steers who made the sale include Shawna Holloman, third, Hereford; Ashton Holloman, seventh, Charolais; and Lucas Atkinson, eighth, Simmental.

Bailey Millican showed his shorthorn to eighth place.

Shawna Holloman, front, and her brother, Ashton, took third- and seventh-places, respectively, in the Hereford and Charolais divisions at the Houston Stock Show and Rodeo.
