On October 7, 2023 the World Watusi Association held its second annual show at the American Royal facility in Kansas City, Missouri.  Per the show venue “The American Royal began in October of 1899 as the National Hereford Show, the first nationwide show for the exposition and sale of purebred cattle.”  This year was the 124th for this show venue.  It was refreshing to hear a cowboy’s prayer that our animals would behave and to hear Lee Greenwood’s stunning version of our National Anthem.

The first class this show was Sr. Showmanship.  Blake Edwards was awarded 1st place with Red Hill Girlie Sue a 2017 Native cow.  Girlie Sue also took 1st place in the Native  Female born 2018 or before class as well as earning the Grand Champion in Native Females.  Blake and Girlie Sue had a great day.

Second place went to Clayton Mason with Liars Lake Reynaldo a 2022 calf.  This was the first time in Showmanship for both of them.
