We talk about the challenge of predicting which calves will become the best three-year-olds, the value of evaluating cattle and programs side-by-side, and the packed-coliseum atmosphere that includes sponsors and industry insight alongside the competition.We also highlight the youth program, “Sawyer Spotlight,” created to give kids real ring experience with their heifer (parent-escorted) in front of the judges. It’s a non-judged class with announcer Q&A, encouragement, and awards for every participant—designed to build confidence and grow the next generation in this breed.
