The Cattlemen’s Family Legacy program is a scholarship program designed to pass on a Black Hills Stock Show cattleman’s legacy by donating a heifer to the next generation in the form of a scholarship to a Western Junior Livestock Show exhibitor. This heifer will be raised and shown by the scholarship recipient. The recipient will receive the heifer after the 2016 Black Hills Stock Show and must return to show her at the 2016 Western Junior Livestock Show.
Nathan and Aaron each submitted an essay for the Cattleman’s Family Legacy Contest and were both chosen as one of four finalists to interview. Nathan was chosen as the winner and will receive a heifer in February.
