The threat of snow and rain didn’t stop 10 enthusiastic applicants from gathering at the Wagonhammer Cattle Company, in Albion, Nebraska, to draw for their Calf Challenge steer on Saturday, March 13, 2021. The one to travel the farthest came from Chester, Arkansas. The Wolf family owns Wagonhammer Cattle Company. Jay Wolf, a 3rd generation cattleman, started the day off giving a tour of the feedlot and feedmill. Joe Epperly, Director of Genetics and Sales, provided an educational program on feeding, care, and health of the calves. The day concluded with 10 individuals drawing a number that matched up with their calf. Each exhibitor will feed, care for, train and keep records on their animal up until the time when they exhibit it at the Aksarben Stock Show, which will be held September 23-26, 2021, at the State Fair Grounds in Grand Island, Nebraska
