McCullough catches calf at Fort Worth

By Sam Waller

Albany’s Donald McCullough made the most of a second chance in the calf scramble at the Fort Worth Stock Show on Saturday, Jan. 28, catching a calf and getting it across the finish line.

McCullough received a $500 certificate to purchase a registered beef or dairy heifer to be shown at next year’s Fort Worth show.

On Tuesday, Jan. 17, McCullough and Judson Rogers competed in the scramble with Rogers catching a calf. McCullough, who was scheduled to show a gilt over the weekend, was offered another try to help fill openings in the Saturday field.

Other Albany FFA students exhibiting gilts at Fort Worth in addition to McCullough were Averie Burns, Lainey Cash, Parker Shelton, and McCamey Vaughn.

“These students are to be congratulated on their hard work and dedication to their projects,” Albany FFA adviser Chris Beard said.

Albany FFA students were scheduled to participate in the barrow and steer shows Wednesday-Friday, Feb. 1-3. Results will be reported next week.
