Catch-a-calf contest grows with 4-H involvement at stock show
At the National Western Stock Show in Denver, eight calves are chased by 16 youths in the catch-a-calf event. The program began in 1935, expanding through World War II to a 40-calf format with five performances monthly sponsor ties. Girls have joined since 1974, and calves come from one breed and herd for uniformity. Calves caught this year will be judged on gain and records next year, with participants required to report to sponsors and maintain ledgers. Other events include Angus bulls and market steers shows, and Melissa Harrison of Woodbine placed fourth in Friday's Angus heifer show.
