DICKINSON CATTLE CO would like to express gratitude to each and all involved in the annual BLUEGRASS FUTURITY. To Bill Hudson, Dan Huntington, Joe Sedlacek, the volunteers (dozens of great workers), Jim Ackers (CEO of Bluegrass Stockyards), the many sponsors, donors, futurity judges, Chase Vasut, (comic-color), and a cast of thousands (auctioneer embellishment)
The Bluegrass reportedly was the largest number of entries of any futurity. DCC had entries in 8 classes and won 4 firsts and 2 seconds. Considering nation-wide competition it was a great honor to win in this tough competition. Indications are that the Mid-West and southeastern USA may quite well be the growth areas for the Texas Longhorn breed.
PACK ROCKS won class #5 with 37 entries. Pack Rocks is the first WT Kid Rock progeny to show. Her dam is a half sister to Drop Box out of Jam Packed. Born 3-31-23, shown right off pasture, then back to pasture the next day. No clipping, washing or trimming. Owned by DCC.
GIVER won class #12. Giver is a son of Ice Pick by Rural Safari Son out of Flair Child by Flair Galore. He was born 10-11-22. Owned by Chad Dickinson
FULL THROTTLE won class #14. Full Throttle is a son of Rural Safari Son and out of Dragon Smile by Drag Iron. He was born 4-9-22. Owned by Joel Dickinson
BOX OFFICE won class #10. Box Office is a son of Drop Box and out of DBLR Jet Over by Jet Black. He was born 4-18-23. Owned by DCC. Box Office won the largest class of bulls with 31 competitors. He was High Point Bull winning the $1000 High Point award presented by Blue Moon Partners.
