Wyatt Blaylock

What happens when a 4H or FFA kid doesn’t have the Grand Champion at the Sale of Champions?  Thanks to the Sponsors, kids such as Wyatt Blaylock still leave with some collage funds. Wyatt is a 13 year old East Central FFA member in San Antonio, who lost his father, Anthony, to brain cancer April 16th, 2012. A devastation of this magnitude could wreck any family, but not Wyatt’s.  His family roots run deeper than bloodline including his “Stock Show Family” pictured left to right, his brother, Weston,  Lorie Kempen, FFA Advisor, Wyatt Blaylock, and his mom, Tara Taylor.  Backing them up are the breeders Ricky Neal and Brian Martin, Caleb Martin, Kylie Patterson and the sponsor, Del Frisco’s, all  helping to reinforcing a basic concept of setting goals, working hard and competing still pays off in this country. That’s what makes the Sale of Champions so special; it’s not just the money.  Wyatt’s 1 of 12-10th Place Steers earned $20,895, as Wyatt’s dream of being an Aggie gets a little closer. The Sale of Champion Sponsors aren’t just buying Grand Champions; they are supporting the Grand Champion Kids of Texas, like Wyatt!
