The Longhorn family is beaming with pride! Last night at the NWSS, Emma Grace and Penny made history.

After being named Grand Champion Longhorn Heifer, Emma Grace led Penny into the ring for the first-ever NWSS Supreme Junior Heifer drive. Seeing our breed represented on that stage for the first time was a moment we will never forget.

Emma Grace, watching you represent the Longhorn community with such grace and skill was a joy for all of us ❤️ Congratulations, we are so proud of you!

Huge congratulations to our NWSS youth group for an incredible showing in Denver! Everyone brought their A-game and looked amazing showing those Longhorns.

Also celebrating a very special 6th Birthday for the Dewey’s! 🎂 There’s no better place to turn 6 than surrounded by the best cattle and the best crew in the country.

National Western 2026, you’ve been one for the books! 🏔️✨
