The Best of the Buckeye program awarded $500 scholarships to program participants to offset the cost of purchasing, raising and exhibiting a Best of the Buckeye-nominated calf, awarded based on show experience and need. These scholarships were awarded to participants of all ages, whether they are looking for a boost to get started or they are a more experienced showman but could use a little help offsetting the cost of a steer or heifer project.
Recipients of the scholarship are as follows: Brandon Barr, Xenia; Raymond Beneker, Hamilton; Brooklyn Cunningham, Howard; Jordan Flax, London; Russell Fox, Tiffin; Claire French, Wakeman; Shala Graham, Frazeysburg; Blaine Grant, Hicksville; Heath Hamer, Green Springs; Emma Lewis, Litchfield; Lukas Perry, Woodville; Tatumn Poff, Chardon; Brock Retcher, Defiance; Gracie Stirm, Galion; Alexis Watkins, Carey; and Connor Yochum, Hillsboro.
This year’s sponsoring partners of the Best of the Buckeye Program are The Folks Printing and Dickson Cattle Company, heifer division; Jones Show Cattle and R.D. Jones Excavating, steer division; Ohio Ag Equipment and Ohio Cat, scholarship division and Sullivan Supply and Stock Show University, breeder recognition. Thanks to these generous sponsors, $60,000 will be given through premiums at each show, scholarships and awards for both participants and breeders. OCA would like to thank these sponsors for contributing to a successful fifth year of the Best of the Buckeye program.
