The 4H Taney County Animal Show: Cattle<\/h1>\n

by Joshua Heston<\/h2>\n

Thanks to the hard work of folks like Cassandra Nebena, Ken and Kimberly Dixon, a handful of supremely qualified judges and a growing number of dedicated kids, the 4H program in Taney County is making a comeback. Despite the tourism in our area, agriculture still plays an important part of our economy and culture.<\/p>\n

It is a valuable place for these kids to share, to learn, and to be recognized for their efforts. Raising animals is hard work, requiring everyday responsibility, dedication and education. It is work which teaches us a great deal of science, compassion, common sense and a sense of reality far removed from most \u201creality\u201d TV shows.<\/p>\n

Plate 2. Linsey Anderson notes, \u201c\u2018Roxie\u2019 was born in November of last year. She leads good, has lots of power and her shoulders are blended. She is a runner.\u201d Chandler praised \u201cRoxie\u201d as a \u201creally good, attractive single entry.\u201d Anderson has shown beef cattle for the last three years (and has shown dairy cattle for five years). \u201cI love it!\u201d explains Anderson, who buys all of her own stock. \u201cI make my dad take me to any show I can!\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n

Plate 3. Fourteen-year old Paige Coffelt of Omaha, Arkanas, shows \u201cMagic,\u201d a polled registered Hereford and embryo calf. \u201c\u2018Magic\u2019 is spoiled,\u201d says Coffelt, \u201cShe doesn\u2019t like to be caught, loves the shade and has a loud personality.\u201d Coffelt has been showing for the last five years. Chandler noted \u201cMagic\u2019s\u201d feminine head as well as her gait.<\/p><\/div>\n

Plate 4. Ten-year old Carson Hoath of Anderson, Missouri, shows blue ribbon champion Buford Pride Black Angus heifer described by Chandler as \u201cstout, square-footed, with power and good muscle and rib shape.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n

Plate 5. Whitney Coffelt of Omaha, Arkansas (she is Paige Coffelt\u2019s 10-year old sister) is showing \u201cMagdelene,\u201d a beautiful registered polled Hereford heifer. Full of spirit, \u201cMagdelene\u201d is described by Coffelt as \u201chaving mixed emotions.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n
