Henry County 4-H · Paris, TN
Hi, I'm Grey! This is my steer, Dr. Pepper
I’m 13, an 8th grader in Paris, TN, and I’m raising and training Dr. Pepper for the 2026 Henry County Youth Livestock Show & Sale. This is my fifth year showing livestock, and I’m excited to share how it’s going, right up through show day.

Countdown to Steer Show Day
I show Dr. Pepper at 2:30 PM on Thursday, August 27, 2026, at the Henry County Fairgrounds in Paris, TN. Here’s my whole show week schedule.
Until showtime.
Welcome
A little about me and my project
I’m Grey Mixon, a 13-year-old 8th grader from Paris, TN, and I’m proud to be a steer exhibitor at the 2026 Henry County Youth Livestock Show. This event is part of the Henry County Fair, and it’s an incredible opportunity for young farmers like me to showcase our hard work.
I’ve been involved in livestock shows for five years, starting with a hog named Marshmallow in Okeechobee, FL, before moving to my Papaw’s farm in Paris, TN, where he raises Romagnola cattle. Since then I’ve shown steers named Chip, Dion, and Sir Loin, and this year I’m getting Dr. Pepper ready for the ring. Whether you’re here to learn more about the fair, support local youth, or just curious about livestock shows, you’ve come to the right place.
Dr. Pepper
I named him Dr. Pepper because of his deep red coat, so of course we had to make him his own cow-print soda-can logo. He’s steady, food-motivated, and (mostly) a good sport about baths.
