2016 Red River Chute Out Youth Futurity Event

In 2016, the Red River Chute Out had 57 youth entries from 40 different members, making it the largest single youth futurity event.

I cannot tell you how overwhelming it's been to see our UBBI Youth program grow in the last two years," UBBI general manager Randy Schmutz said in 2016. "To see the excitement on these kids faces and to watch them as they get to flank these calves and to see them helping each other to try and succeed... it's just inspirational!

Tim Dougherty, a UBBI member from Missouri, was inspired by the number of youth entries at the 2016 Red River Chute Out. He contacted the office prior to the event and contributed $700 added money to the youth futurity purse. There was also a pleasant surprise from David and April Scherotter, the parents of the late Clay Schrerotter, who competed as a UBBI youth member until his untimely death in August 2015. The Scherotter family unexpectedly donated $300 toward the youth futurity purse as well.
