A Rising Star in the Show Ring

The Hill District Grandstand is thrilled to shine the Winner Wednesday spotlight on Gracee McBee. At just 17, this 3 Oaks 4-H senior embodies what the spirit of competition and commitment to agriculture is all about.

This week, we celebrate her remarkable achievements, including seizing the coveted title of Champion American Heifer and securing the distinguished Grand Champion Heifer banner at the Hill District Grandstand 2024 show.

A Blend of Talent and Tenacity

Gracee’s relationship with livestock shows extends well beyond our local arena. Her hard work and dedication were prominently on display at the Jr. Nationals, where she earned the title of Grand Champion Percentage Brangus Heifer.

As she gears up to join the Red Raider family at Texas Tech University, we can only anticipate the great things Gracee will continue to achieve, both in and out of the show ring.

More Than Just Ribbons and Banners

It’s not all about the awards for Gracee, however. Despite her busy schedule and relentless drive, she makes it a priority to spend quality time with her brother and savor every precious moment of her final high school year. There’s a lesson in there for all of us about the importance of balance and cherishing life’s experiences.

Cultivating the Future of Agriculture

As we celebrate Gracee’s accomplishments, we are reminded that the future of agriculture is bright in the hands of our passionate youth. Her journey encourages all young ag enthusiasts to strive for greatness, chase their dreams, and never forget the importance of family and community.

Thank you, Gracee, for displaying the values we cherish and for setting the bar high. We look forward to seeing all you will accomplish!
