SINKEY WINS FWSSR CALF SCRAMBLE SCHOLARSHIP

A $4,000 scholarship was recently awarded to Bradley Sinkey of Pittsburg FFA by the Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo’s Calf Scramble Scholarship Committee.  He is the son of Laura Hall and Jerry Sinkey.

Sinkey participated in the 2019 Fort Worth Stock Show Calf Scramble program making him eligible for the scholarship program. Seventy-two youth shared in $390,000 in Calf Scramble scholarship dollars. 

Sinkey’s scholarship was the result of the hard work and dedication necessary for participants to complete the rigorous Calf Scramble program. The moment they caught a calf during a 2019 Stock Show rodeo performance their Calf Scramble journey began.  These youth utilized Stock Show funds toward the purchase of a calf that they cared for in 2019 and exhibited at this year’s livestock show. His Brangus heifer project was sponsored by Bonds Ranch of Saginaw, Texas. Besides showing their heifer, monthly reports and a final essay were required to remain eligible for scholarship consideration. Meeting shortly after the 2020 Show, the Scholarship Committee awarded Sinkey his scholarship.    

Sponsors for Sinkey’s scholarship include Steve Buyers, Diamond Creek Ranch, Kirk and Charlotte French; In Memory of Eddie Deems, Modco Insurance, Richard J. "Rick" and Candace Shearer, Southwestern Exposition and Livestock Show, and Vic and Carla Thompson Memorial Scholarship Trust.
