Community Events for January 2023
Our 2020 stock show brought 614 entries from across Texas. There were Hereford heifers and steers, fine wool lambs, and market goats. The SandHills Steer Show is the only Junior Livestock Show in the state of Texas which is exclusively Hereford cattle. Likewise, our Lamb Show is unique in that we show only Fine Wool Lambs. Because of this, the quality of the steers and lambs shown in Odessa rivals any show in the state. In addition to the prizes and premiums awarded in our shows and our sale, participating students also compete for scholarships.
