Alien City Showdown
YCLC ON THE TRAIL...
For immediate release: January 18, 2021
Showmanship is a tough contest; not only is the animal exhibited under critique, but so is the showman. Judges at the ENMSF Alien City Showdown scanned the ring for things such as appropriate dress, eye contact and body language, spacing and courteousness in the ring, temperament of animal, composure, and show stick etiquette to name a few.
Entry into the contest was by renewing or paying $25.00, which are the yearly dues of an NMCGA Junior member. Junior members benefit from exclusive scholarship opportunities, showmanship contests, the Stockman magazine monthly subscription and potential future internships with NMCGA. Thirty-eight exhibitors from New Mexico and Texas participated in the event, and of that group twenty were new junior members. NMCGA is continually striving to engage the youth of New Mexico as the association looks to the future.
“Everyone at the Eastern New Mexico State Fair appreciates the support of New Mexico Cattle Growers’,” says Mike Corn, ENMSF Beef Superintendent. “From the showmanship contest to help with getting quality judges for our kids.”
Novice division winner, Breylin Rubio is the 11 year old son of Michael and Christy Rubio of Maxwell. In addition to steers, he also exhibits meat rabbits and would like to start with lambs in the coming year. His favorite show of the year is the Colfax County Fair, and his dream show is the National Western Stock Show in Denver, CO.
Junior division winner, Preslie Cavett is the daughter of Chris Cavett of Lubbock, TX and Dusti Cavett of Ray Farms in House. She shows an array of animals including: pigs, goats, lambs, heifers and steers. A goal she has set for herself in 2021 is to win the New Mexico State Fair with one or all of her animals. Her dream show would be the Arizona National in Phoenix, AZ.
Senior division winner, Paiton Owensby is the 18 year old daughter of Seth and Dawna Owensby of Des Moines. She is a freshman at Redlands Community College in El Reno, OK; where she is active on the collegiate judging team. Her dream show would be the North American International Livestock Exposition in Louisville, KY.
“We were very happy with this year’s turnout at the Eastern New Mexico State Fair, and look forward to more showmanship contests in 2021.” said Randell Major, NMCGA President.
