Presidio County Stock Show Highlights Marfa Event
Reports from the Presidio County Stock Show in Marfa highlight champion and reserve winners in stock judging. Doris Doyle's fine wool lamb won, James Nicks claimed reserve, and Margaret Ann Gearhart took grand champion registered Hereford bull calf with Bailey Wheeless as reserve. Longhorn steers on display drew chatter from Cap Yates and Johnny Adams as attendees, with Dr. W W Gentry making the lucky weight guess.
