The High Desert Grange held its 6th Annual Highland Rollers Jackpot Show on May 1st at the Churchill County Fairgrounds. The High Rollers Jackpot Show is for youth from 5 to 19 as a practice run for the Nevada Junior Livestock Show. A day of fun and excitement for all the participants, while receiving educational feedback and advice in preparation for the state show.
Members from Future Farmers of America (FFA), Grange, and 4H as well as independent exhibitors from all over Nevada and border counties of California were in attendance. One hundred youth showed over one hundred animals this year. The official livestock breakdown included 5 beef, 35 swine, 40 lambs, 38 goats, and 12 turkeys.
