Sage and Cash in competition at the 2018 Aksarben Stock Show.

Shannon said). Shannon was active in 4-H and the Junior Simmental Association.

Sarah’s parents are Glenn and Joan Muller of Davis. She showed cattle, hogs and sheep during her years in 4-H and FFA. “I’d say sheep were my favorite. I won at State Fair one year with a home-raised lamb.” Both Cash and Sage groaned simultaneously when their mom said sheep were her favorite animal to show.

Cash and Sage have shown pigs in order to not compete with the customers of the family business, Voegele Show Cattle.

Shannon said, “I’ve been fitting cattle my whole life. I started when I was probably eight years old in 4-H at the county fair. As I got older, I’d stay out after dark just messing with calves. When I got into high school, it started costing some money to have other people clip them. Finally, I told my dad I was going to do it myself and I grabbed a pair of clippers. I started whacking away. It looked terrible for a while.” However, when he wasn’t showing, he sat ringside on a five-gallon bucket, getting a hands-on education watching and learning from those who were winning.

Shannon worked for several show cattle firms, fitting cattle all over the country. He fit and exhibited four Charolais heifers who won national championships. He worked five years for Dr. David Faber, founder of Trans Ova Genetics, in Sioux Center, Iowa, and owner of Faber Show Cattle. The Faber family exhibited numerous champions at the Iowa State Fair.
