Jacalynn Aldridge
Little Cattle Baroness With A
Big Heart
Jacalynn Aldridge is more than just
a Brock High School student. At age
15, she regularly gives back to her
community though numerous volun-
teer efforts and is racking up experi-
ence in the cattle-showing arena.
“She’s just about the hardest-
working kid I’ve ever seen,” said Jim
Martin, who nominated Aldridge
for a PCT Horizon Award. “She is a
natural-born cattle baroness, and she
is one heck of a great kid and she
helps everybody.”
Her arena accolades include
a $10,000 scholarship for her red
Angus brood champion at the 2013
San Antonio Stock Show, numerous
jackpot show winnings and she’s
climbing up the ranks at the Fort
Worth Stock Show. Her first year
in Fort Worth she placed 10th in
her division, and this past year she
climbed to 5th place. Closer to home,
she has a track record of placing
first or second in her division at the
Parker County Youth Livestock Show.
Outside the arena, Aldridge rides
horses and participates in FFA and
in 4-H, specifically with sewing. At
school, her favorite place to be is on
the volleyball court.
To cultivate a sense of giving
back to her community, Aldridge’s
father has her involved with
purchasing and delivering numerous
bicycles for children who otherwise
wouldn’t have gifts under the tree.
