The calf scramble program is
just one of the show’s

awarding its first scholarship in

Show and Rodeo has committed
more than $100 million to
scholarships, endowments and
other education programs.
The Houston Livestock Show
and Rodeo begins March I and
runs through March 20. Show
officials are proud to salute
Reliant Energy, Ford, Coca-Cola
and Miller Lite as Heritage

When world champion rodeo
athletes compete at Rodeo
Houston March 1-20, they won’t
be the only contestants reaching
tor glory.
Shaun Fontenot and Colter
Blount, both of Anton will be
among 28 4-H and FFA members
competing in the exciting and
heartwarming calf scramble on
Friday, March 11.
Fontenot is the 16-year-old
son of Larry Wood and Shollie
Wood. Blount is the 16-year-old
son of Tracy Blount and Linda
Blount. Both will represent the
Anton FFA as participants during
the star-studded rodeo
performance beginning at 7 p.m.
that includes action-packed rodeo
events and superstar
entertainment by Pat Green.
During the calf scramble,
sponsored by Justin Book Co.
and Clear Channel Outdoor, these
FFA members will attempt to
catch and halter one of 14 calves
that are released into the Reliant
Stadium arena. With the drop of
the hat, the calves will dart into
the arena and the challenge will
begin. With youngsters and
calves scattered about and
moving in every direction, the
calf scramble is one of the most
chaotic and lovable events of the
show.
The 14 who are successful
will each receive a $1,000
certificate for the purchase of a
beef heifer and will join the ranks
of 16,440 boys and girls who
have received certificates.
Additional “hard luck”
certificates are presented to
individuals who don't catch a calf
but are recognized f<y * their
efforts. Since the program began
in 1942, $7.5 million has been
awarded in certificates and
bonuses to Texas young people.
The purchased heifer becomes
a year-long project for the
scrambler, feeding grooming and
providing all the care necessary
to raise and show a beef animal.
Supervised by an agricultural
science teacher or county agent,
winners must keep accurate and
detailed records of the animal’s
progress, submitting records to
both the show and the certificate
donor to chronicle the heifer’s
development. These 4-H and FFA
members then have the
opportunity to return to the
Houston Livestock Show in 2006
to compete in the Junior Breeding
Beef Heifer Show as well as a
special scramble heifer show. As
a bonus from their donors to help
with expenses, participants also
