🏆 Congratulations to our JLAC Beef Carcass Contest winners!
🥇 Champion — Shane Shovelain
🥈 Reserve Champion — Margaret Smithies
🥉 3rd Place — Jackson White
🌟 4th Place — Kiera Smithies
All four top contestants exhibited Napa Born and Bred steers! 👏
Shane and Margaret both brought homegrown steers from their own ranches. Hard work, dedicated care, and great genetics resulted in beautiful meat quality—a tremendous showing for Napa’s young livestock producers!
A big thank-you to Napa Solano Cattlemen’s and Ahmann Ranches LLC for sponsoring this contest and supporting our youth. Ahmann Ranches LLC also raised two of the top 4 steers—a special reason to celebrate!
Congratulations to all four contestants! 🎉
