Cade Charmasson, son of Chad and Amy Charmasson, Hennessey
Oklahoma exhibited his sheep at the 2022 National Western Livestock
in Denver Colorado. Cade’s hard work was on display as he was named
Reserve Junior Premier Exhibitor and his lamb was selected for the
Auction of Junior Livestock Champions on January 21, 2022.
Earl & Candy Enix, Centennial Colorado purchased Cade’s lamb at
the Auction of Junior Livestock Champions. Enix is a 1973 graduate of
Hennessey High School, selected to the Hennessey High School Hall of Fame
in 2019, and established the Enix Family Scholarship for Hennessey High
School graduates in 2017. Earl & Candy enjoy supporting youth programs
and our future leaders of tomorrow.
Cade was required to take an industry-related quiz, give a 2 minute
speech, and complete an interview with a panel of judges. Other components
of the Premier Exhibitor Competition included his live placing, showmanship placing, and participation level at the 116th National Western Livestock Show. Only, 96 of the best market animals were selected for the Friday night auction. The 2022 Auction of Junior Livestock Champions set recording-breaking numbers and the purpose of the sale is to encourage today’s youth to seek a future in agriculture, and to further their education. A majority of the winning bid price goes directly to the Junior Exhibitor, and 10% of each bid price is donated to support the National Western Scholarship Trust.
Additional Charmasson Club Lambs that showed well and sold at the auction
were the Champion Dorset Lamb exhibited by Alexa Anderson, Ringwood Oklahoma and the Champion Speckle Face Lamb exhibited by Olivia Sandy, Stephenville Texas.
