Fannindel’s heifer show team made the trip west to Fort Worth’s Cow Girls in Cowtown heifer show and competed admirably. Jawaylon Shaw won 3rd place in his class with his Polled Hereford and 6th in his Class with his Brangus female. Kaylee and Branden Dillehay joined forces to place their Shorthorn heifer 1st in its Class. Abby Duplechan placed 3rd in a competitive Limousine female Class.
