I also aspire to raise high quality calves that are efficient not just in the show ring but in the pasture as well. My advice for juniors is to remember where you started and keep pushing!

Tucker Padgett - FL

I have loved animals since I was born. For my 1st birthday, I got my first set of goats. I joined 4-H when I was 7 years old and started showing cows when I was 9. I was determined to do everything myself. I raised my own money to purchase that 1st heifer, trailer, and supplies, and knew right away this is what I wanted to do. I have been showing ever since. Now I have my own small herd of commercial and registered cattle that I breed and pick my future show calves from and then sell the other calves to fund my cattle operation.

My name is Owen Wehrer and I will be 11 on November 30th. I am in 5th grade at Tipton Rosemark Academy. I enjoy a lot of watching and playing sports. I enjoy playing with my dog and petting our Brahman. We have 6 smooth polled red Brahman now but our bull calf has lost most of his red and is looking more gray. Our 2 calves will be halter broke soon so that we can show them. A few weeks ago I was in my first cow show and my brother and me showed Brahman that belonged to my grandfather. I won a 2nd place ribbon and 3rd place ribbon in my first show at the Delta Fair. Hopefully I can become a professional football player but if not I will try to become a professional baseball player. I want to go to an SEC college maybe Tennessee. During the off season from sports I still want to have a cattle farm. Our dad thinks we should be vets for large animals but I don't think I want to do that.

William Peyton Wehrer - TN

My name is Peyton Wehrer and I turn 12 on October 14th. I just started middle school this year. I have always enjoyed sports and playing with animals.

This is year 3 of building our herd and we have 6 total. Our 2 calves are not ready to show yet but we plan on showing them soon. My first show was at the Delta Fair in Memphis when I showed one of my grandfathers brahman. I really enjoy working with cattle and playing sports. My number one goal is to be a professional football or baseball player. I plan on going to the University of Tennessee for college and if I am able to become a professional athlete, during the off season I can still show cows and play with our dogs.
