PARKER COUNTY AG
A TRADITIONAL COWBOY
GRAHAM SPOONER
BY KATHERINE ROSE
G
raham Spooner is a nine-year-old student at
Mary Martin Elementary who loves to show
cattle.
It began as his dad’s idea several years ago, but after
Graham took several 1st class ribbons and multiple
reserve division awards with his heifers, Snowey and
Lucy and his newest, Daisey, he owned the concept.
This year marks Graham’s second year to show at
the county level as well as his first year to show at the
majors.
Graham is an enthusiastic member of the Parker
County 4-H, where he has attended cooking and
leather working classes and has the distinction of
having designed a rocket made out of a Coke bottle.
What is it that Graham likes most about showing?
“Walking my cow into the ring,” he said.
His plan for the future is a simple one — to keep
on showing.
Graham has earned numerous trophies in his
short career, but has yet to claim a belt buckle like
twin brother Garrison, but that’s OK. It leaves him
something to work towards.
