Premier Cattle Show Hosts Multi State Exhibitors

December 20, 2012 by Press Release

Cason_Gough copyWauchula, FL — Cattle Show enthusiasts from 26 Florida counties filled the Cattlemen’s Arena in Wauchula, FL, on December 7-8, to participate in the 2012 Hardee County Preview Show. This annual family-friendly event, sponsored by Peace River Electric Cooperative (PRECO), attracted nearly 300 head of cattle and more than 180 exhibitors and in only four years has grown into the largest non-State Fair cattle show in Florida.

Due to its increased popularity, a second ring and judge were added this year to accommodate the large number of animals and exhibitors. Jeff Jackson and Doug Satree provided quality judging for the show. Jackson, Stephenville, TX, owns and operates a large-scale cattle company which markets animals to 4-H and FFA exhibitors. Satree owns a commercial cattle and registered angus business in Montague, TX. Both are experienced National Level cattle show judges.

“The purpose of this show is to help young participants gain hands-on experience in the competitive world of cattle exhibiting before they hit upcoming local and state fair circuits,” explains Jackson. “As judges, our goal is to help them gain and refine the necessary skills that will support them in the show ring.”

The show exists with the backing and support of businesses in Hardee County, lead by the support of Peace River Electric. “Across the nation, electric co-ops are very involved in local community activities,” said Nell McCauley, chief marketing and member services officer of the Wauchula-based cooperative. “Florida is ‘ranch country,’ so the show is a great way to reach out to our consumer-members and agri-business in the State.”

PRECO employees conceived the idea of the cattle show in 2009 as a way to support youth involved in FFA and 4-H organizations. Both groups have members who often get most of their livestock experience through show projects.

“Due to the generous support of local businesses and volunteers, the Hardee County Preview Show is able to return 100 percent of entry fees collected back to show winners,” adds McCauley.
