Thank you from the Livestock Judging Team

Dear editor, We want to take this opportunity to express our sincerest gratitude to the community and surrounding areas of Cuero for their support of the DeWitt County Livestock Judging Team. Our fundraising efforts have been successful and we have met our monetary goal to get to Scotland. The Passport to Judge Gala held last Friday was well attended and we appreciate very much the support of the community. Words cannot express how blessed we are and once again we want to thank everyone who has supported us with praise, prayers and monetary donations along the way. We could not have done this without you. 05/07/2025 11:28 AM
