Buyers, facility, volunteers take CLS to next level

Years ago when buying syndicates formed to support the Cuero Livestock Show, some were concerned that individual contributions would slack off.

With the final tally of livestock sales more than doubling in the last seven years, the CLS Board can let go of those concerns.

“Nearly every business in town is part of some syndicate,” CLS President Greg Gossett said. “Or they're buying on their own or several syndicates. We're lucky to have so much financial support for these kids” This year, the “all-time high market price for cattle” also helped the show’s bottom line, according to Anthony Netardus, the DeWitt County Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Agent.
