With the holidays approaching, the conclusion of the first semester brings to an end a very successful fall show schedule for numerous local FFA members. In October, Carly Haack won Reserve Champion honors at the Ya’ll Come Back Fall Classic in Floresville with her Charolais steer, while Carlin Green, Asher Haack, and Hanna Garrett each did well, placing high in their respective breed classes. Then in November, a large number of local students took part in the Dripping Springs Fall Classic held in Johnson City. Grand and Reserve Grand Champion honors went to three local FFA members, with Kelton Marek exhibiting the Grand Champion steer in Ring A, James Leachman the Reserve Grand Champion steer in Ring B, and Dalton Savanich the Reserve Grand Champion Lamb in Ring B. In addition to their Grand and Reserve Grand placings, Kelton and James also took home 3 breed champions and a reserve breed champion each while Dalton took home reserve breed honors in both rings of the lamb show. Also doing well was Hanna Garrett. Hanna won 2 breed champions and 2 reserve breed champions in the hog show in addition to winning a breed champion in the steer show as well. She won Jr. Showmanship in the steers and reserve junior honors in the pigs.
