The Calf Scramble, which allows 16 students to compete at 28 of the 29 rodeo performances, has eight winners each
performance. The young people are high school students out to catch and halter a calf with hopes of winning a $500
purchase certificate that will help buy a registered beef or dairy heifer for a yearlong 4-H or FFA project.
Winners must care for their animals throughout the year and return for the 2016 Stock Show to exhibit it in the Junior Heifer
Show. Those who do the best job will be in line for scholarship funds when they enter college. To date, the program has
awarded more than $3.2 million toward the purchase of heifers and granted 1,143 scholarships totaling $1.6 million. In all,
224 youngsters will catch calves during the 2015 Stock Show.
All entries receive a special T-shirt with their contestant number. Participants who fail to catch a calf receive a certificate
for a pair of Justin boots. Long time sponsor, Justin Boots continue their support along with Co-sponsor, Texas Mutual
Insurance Co.

Seems lately these days Texas is becoming the envy of musicians from around the world.
With the overwhelming response to “Yellowstone,” the television series, Texas once again finds itself under the microscope of the world, much like the late 1980’s TV series know to all around the globe as “Dallas.”
With that said, the musician population in Texas is beginning to grow as many aspiring performers turn their sights on Texas instead of Nashville. Meet my newly-found friend and fellow musician Grace Partridge. This youthful 19 year old has recently made Texas her new home. She began fiddling at age four in Rigby, Idaho. Grace worked her way through the National Fiddle championships in Weiser, Idaho, becoming a five-time national champion. She’s even played on the Grand Ole Opry. Still yet, her desire to become a true Texas Fiddler has brought her to the Lone Star State. I’m pretty sure we can thank Bob Wills for that.
