Amy Yudiski, Shale Exploration's director of charities, tendered Shale's winning bids on the Grand Champion Wether goat and the Grand Champion Second Stringer pig at this years Fort Worth Stock Show.
Grant Read of Santo presented the winning goat, which went for $55,000, $25,000 more than the top goat last year. Dakota Crissman sold her pig to Shale Exploration also for $55,000.
President of Shale Exploration, Sam Tallis, said that buying these animals is a way of giving back to the community, which is something the company does on a regular basis. "In the last year, we've given $1.3 million to charities," Tallis says.
Shale Exploration will donate both of the animals to Arlington Heights High School FFA program.
