The Commercial Heifer Project entries were judged last week at the Henderson County Livestock Show. The project begins in October and concludes at the Show. It requires each contestant to complete a record book, take a test, go through an interview and choose two of the three heifers they raise to compete. The heifers were then sold at the sale barn in Athens on Friday. The 2016 Grand Champion Sr Division winner was Hannah Massey with LaPoynor FFA; 2016 Grand Champion Jr Division winner was Madison Gurley with LaPoynor FFA; 2016 Reserve Grand Champion Sr Division winner was Will Reynolds also with LaPoynor FFA;2016 Reserve Grand Champion Jr Division winner was Ryan Davis with Mabank FFA

A Henderson County Livestock Show family

12928287_811361169009001_6846376770758744773_nThis week marked the last time AgriLife Extension Agent Rick Hirsch participated in the Henderson County Livestock Show as a father. Sure the 24-year Extension Agent will be back next year, but it will doubtlessly feel different for him without Heather, Kelsey or Grant showing. One of the three has been in the HCLS every year since 1999. This family photo was taken not long after Grant finished competing in his final event. (Michael V. Hannigan photo)
