🎲 Sponsor Spotlight 🎲

The show may have come to an end but we have a few additional sponsors to recognize. We want to say thank you to Mountain Valley Pipeline for their support. Maurice Royster came all the way to ODAC to deliver their sponsorship check right before the show got under way. He was able to provide some education about the natural gas pipeline and the connection to agricultural. We also talked about the personal connection to farming and how it has positively impacted our families.

Thank you for your support this year!

🌟 Sponsor Spotlight 🌟
The High Stakes Cattle Classic would not be possible without the incredible support of our many sponsors. While some may not have their names on a banner or a class, their contributions have made a huge impact on our event.

From local businesses and farms to families and individuals who believe in supporting youth in the livestock industry, every donation, sponsorship, and act of generosity helps create opportunities for exhibitors to learn, grow, and compete.

We are truly grateful for each and every sponsor who chose to invest in this event and the future of our industry. Your support helps make the High Stakes Cattle Classic more than just a cattle show—it helps create memories, friendships, and experiences that will last a lifetime.

Please join us in thanking all of our sponsors for believing in our vision and supporting the next generation of cattlemen and cattlewomen. We couldn't do it without you! 🐮♦️❤️
