Albany agriculture students started the show season with the first weekend of the West Texas Fair and Rodeo in Abilene.

Market lamb shows and the first cattle judging took place on Friday and Saturday, Sept. 4-5 for Albany participants.

Pepper Martin showed in the junior lamb shows A & B, and Bryce Asher showed in junior lamb show B.

Gracie Price placed third in the open Angus heifer show on Friday and placed fourth in the junior Angus heifer show on Saturday.

Albany ag teacher Chris Beard said this coming Saturday, Albany will have students participating in the heifer shows.

The jackpot swine show and the junior steers will show Saturday, Sept. 19. 

Beard explained that the WTFR spread all events out over three weeks instead of the traditionally two weeks to help with social distancing.

Gate admission into the fairgrounds is $8 for adults and $4 for students kindergarten through college.
