Valley Farm Supply is home to Speedrite and Patriot Fence Chargers, TruTest Cattle Cattle Scales and More!
At the July 9 VitaFerm® Junior National Hereford Expo
(JNHE) in Madison, Wisconsin, Jarrettsville native
Melissa Grimmel was named champion senior showman.
But the accolades didn’t end there.
Melissa, competing in her final JNHE due to age restrictions,
also won the Walter & Joe Lewis High Point Senior Award,
and two of the seven head of cattle she exhibited were
named the show’s Grand Champion Cow/Calf Pair.
More than 900 children and their families from 41
states competed at the 17th Annual Expo. The event is
a showmanship contest sponsored by Sullivan Supply
and Stock Show University. With more than 1660 cattle
exhibited, JNHE is considered one of the largest junior
events in the country.
Melissa’s background and love for agriculture began at
home. As the fifth generation of her family’s grain operation,
she farmed corn, soybeans, wheat, barley, straw, hay and
produce in both Maryland and Pennsylvania, as well as
running about 40 head of purebred Hereford, Angus and
commercial cattle.
Although Melissa’s 12-year tenure with 4-H ended in
2013 she has continued to raise and show breeding cattle through the national junior breed associations.
She plans to remain active in the industry. Melissa is a recent graduate of Kansas State University with
degrees in Agricultural Communications and Journalism and Animal Sciences and Industry.
