DES MOINES, IA- Tanner Reed of Logan County was recently named as the Reserve Grand Champion at the AJSA Jr. National Show in Des Moines, Iowa. In doing so, his award ranked him second nationally. Reed’s award was in the fullblood Fleckvieh Heifer category.
The show consisted of Simmental cattle from 37 states represented and over 1200 head of cattle. Tanner competed in competitions related to the cattle industry. The competition lasted five days before Tanner was awarded the Reserve Grand Champion Fullblood Simmental Heifer.
Tanner began the project back in December and decided that he wanted to show on a national level. He has done very well. The Heifer’s name is Augusta, and she is a 16-month-old Fullblood Simmental. She was born on TCBO Farms owned by Terry and Cindy Bowman.
Augusta also placed third overall Fullblood at the south central regional in Springfield, Missouri back in June. The Reeds are looking to finish up the season with both county fairs along with stops in Fort Smith, Little Rock and Fayetteville.
Tanner is a member of the American Junior Simmental Association and the American Simmental Association. Reed is also a member of the County Line FFA show team and a member of the Arkansas Junior Cattleman’s association.
