Denver 2008 Recap

V8 Shorthorns had an excellent Denver! Jim, Rachel, and Catherine all braved the cold weather to promote our Shorthorn cattle and spend time with our many friends that raise them, too! Special thank you to Nancy Ferguson from Hillside Ranch in Oregon for purchasing our heifer in the National Shorthorn Sale.

Congratulations to Charlee Teague for winning Reserve Grand Champion in the Junior Show with Miss V8 Mona's Hip Hop ET, and also to Jake Bloomberg for exhibiting the Reserve National Champion Female in the Open Show with Miss V8 Mona Michelle. We couldn't be more proud of these two outstanding juniors for their accomplishments with their V8 cattle!

Travis and Beth Pembrook were the recipients of the American Shorthorn Association Herdsman of the Year award. This award is given in honor of Lawrence Grathwohl, and is one of the most presitigous honors given in the breed. Congratulations Travis and Beth on your much deserved honor!

Also, special congratulations to Luke Neumayr and the Texas A&M Livestock Judging Team for their success at Denver. Luke was named the High Individual in the judging contenst, and the Aggie team also won the contest. Ben Warfield, Shorthorn Junior Board Member, is also a member of the winning judging team. The team is coached by Blake Bloomberg (Jake's older brother) and Zach Rambo. Congratulations! We are very proud of you all!

Finishing Up A Great Fall

We have had an excellent fall at V8! We had a great fall show season attending many state fairs, the American Royal in Kansas City, and the North American International Livestock Exposition in Louisville, Kentucky. We also enjoyed our Thanksgiving tradition of watching the Texas A&M football team beat the University of Texas. Here are some snapshots of the highlights of our fall.

We would like to wish all of our friends a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Hope to see you all in Denver!
