WIU has focused on building a quality Simmental cow herd. Our students are the foundation of this success. Jake Ford is a 2026 graduate of the School of Agriculture and played in active role in the success of the WIU Beef program over the last two years. These are the kinds of experiences and community that WIU provides that you won’t find everywhere.

Huge thank you to all of our exhibitors, families, sponsors, judges, photographers, and everyone who helped make the Western Shootout one heck of a weekend.

From the first class to the final drive, the barns were packed with great stock, great competition, and even better people. We appreciate every single family that traveled in, supported the show, and helped make the weekend such a success.
