Congratulations to our 2021 Breeder of the Year, Bill and Dusty Carr!
While you may remember learning more about Bill and Dusty and their operation when they won Breeder of the Year the first time in 1993, the Carr’s sure haven’t slowed down since then, and don’t plan on doing so anytime soon.
We certainly appreciate the Carr’s love for their land, their Beefmaster Cattle, and all that they have done to help our association grow to where it is today through their time, talent, and treasures that they have shared with us over the years.
