INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA (RFD NEWS) — What began as a Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) project for Presley Graves has grown into StockShowAuctions.com, a platform designed to support youth involved in livestock shows and the broader cattle industry.
Graves joined us on Monday’s edition of FFA Today to share about the growth of StockShowAuctions.com, which started out as her FFA SAE project and evolved into a successful and widely used tool for farm kids across the country.
In her interview with RFD NEWS, Graves discussed how she turned a school assignment into a fully functioning business and her current role managing auctions and overseeing the platform. She also shared how StockShowAuctions.com continues to support youth exhibitors and the cattle industry, and her hopes for the platform’s future, and reflected on some of her most memorable moments since launching the project.
