My name is Reid Utterback. I’m 17 years old and going to be a senior at Frankton High School, located in Frankton, Indiana. I am on the golf team and also involved in our local 4-H/FFA chapter. I have been showing livestock since I was 7 years old all over the country at all levels of competition. I have shown cattle, pigs, sheep, and goats with cattle being my favorite. I live in Elwood, Indiana. In addition to raising livestock, our family raises corn, bean, and tomatoes. I started showing shorthorns and attended my 1st Junior Nationals in St. Paul, Minnesota in 2016 with a heifer from Shoufler Shorthorns. At the 2018 Shorthorn Junior Nationals I had Reserve Grand

Owned Purebred heifer with a heifer purchased from Meyer Family Shorthorns. The heifer I exhibited at the 2024 Maine/Chi Junior Nationals is a Data Bank x Primo x Dixie Erica. Bred by: Troy Stanley and Ben Jenkins and sold by: Josh Elder and Tony Jeffs. This Junior Nationals was a great opportunity for me to get involved and meet some different individuals within a different breed. I would like to thank my family for giving me the opportunity to be in the livestock industry which has taught me so much. I’d also like to thank the Shoufler, Meyer, Schaeffer, and Sullivan families for helping me achieve my goals and better myself within this industry. ●
