C & D Polled Herefords, owned by Clayton and Doug White of Unity, had the Reserve Champion bull calf at Agribition, out of over 120 entries. The calf later sold to a Minnesota rancher for $600. D & C’s group of five females were the Grand Champions in their category.

Members of the Senlac 4-H Club took their calves to Grant Moncrieff’s for weighing and tagging.
