Heat Wave Rolls Through Huntsville

The SHSU Livestock Judging and Beef Cattle Show Teams hosted the annual Heat Wave Prospect Show on the weekend of May 30th and June 1st at the Walker County Fair Grounds. The youth sanctioned cattle show serves as a fundraiser for the teams, raising over $4,500 this year for the teams to apply toward travel expenses and entry fees throughout the year. Additional financial assistance is provided to the teams though the Office of Student Life.

A total of 202 cattle, 77 steers and 125 heifers, were exhibited during the two-day show. The SHSU Fall Prevue, a similar event generally held under much cooler conditions, is scheduled for October. In addition to competing in livestock shows and exhibiting the University’s purebred cattle, the judging and show teams sponsor 4-H and FFA livestock evaluation events and showmanship clinics for area youth. Dr. Stanley Kelley advises both teams.
