FORT WORTH, TEXAS (RFD NEWS) — Exhibitors of all ages enjoyed the Fort Worth Stock Show and were thrilled to participate in the Sale of Champions. The competition isn’t easy, but participants were excited to show off their animals.

RFD’s own Kirbe Schnoor was on hand to capture the action in today’s Stock Show Report, where she catches up with Collyns Schatte, a youth exhibitor from Giddings, Texas, as well as Corbyn and Kennedy, two other youth exhibitors from Texas, among those taking part in today’s event.
