On the weekend of Nov. 14-18, Hillsboro Great Oaks FFA members Bri Foxx, Cameron Burkard, Blake Herdman and Emma Yochum attended the North American International Livestock Exposition (NAILE).

All of these members exhibited beef cattle.

Foxx showed Angus and prospect heifer, earning fifth in her class. Burkard took a prospect heifer and purebred shorthorn. Herdman showed her Mainetainer heifers in class. She had a Reserve Division Spring Yearling. Yochum showed her Chi-Angus female, earning Reserve Champion Female in the junior show and a Division champion in the open show.

Overall, these members had a good time showing and making industry connections.
