Shelbie Kirkpatrick crowned show queen

Shelbie Kirkpatrick, a member of Lookout 4-H Club, was crowned queen of the Cherokee County Junior Livestock Show Saturday afternoon. Placing her crown is last year's queen, Jennifer Hill, Rusk FFA. Miss Kirkpatrick raised a total of $3,151, which will be used for upkeep at the show barn. Derek Crisp of Alto FFA sold his market steer medium class for a total of $6,808.50, including add-ons, getting the highest price ever paid for a livestock project. Derek won last year, making this his second year to win that honor. Historically, market steers in the heavy class draw the highest dollar amounts, making this year's sell a unique event. Alto FFA had several winners in this year's livestock show.
