National Champion

Claire Ellis, a Woodson 7th grader, exhibited the 2020 National Polled Hereford Champion Cow/Calf Pair at the 2020 Fort Worth Stock Show. Almost two years of work was rewarded for Ellis and her heifer, Uni, when they brought home the banner with the national title Feb. 3. Claire has owned and shown the November 2017 heifer since June 2018. The bull calf, Walter, was born Dec. 2, 2019. Ellis said that she is appreciative of Keaton Kuykendall (shown), who helped her exhibit the pair, and of her ag teacher, her parents and all who helped her arrive at this point.
