With the 2026 HLSR in the books, I wanted to give a quick update on our year for CR Buyers!! Overall CR Buyers had another successful year raising donations for the 2026 Show year.

First, CR Buyers was able to donate a little over $100,000 for 2026 . Again we were able to support Swine Auction, Lamb and Goat Auction and the Poultry Auction Committees.

Second, were able to sponsor a Calf Scramble Student, donate to the Souvenir Program Committee supporting FFA Chapters, as well as the Horse Show Junior Invitational.

Since the inception of CR Buyers, we have now committed almost $615,000 to the Youth of Texas.

Finally if you werent aware, CR Buyers doesnt stop there. All of the meat we collect from the Rodeo Auctions, we will donate to two area charities.... Boys and Girls Country of Tomball and Tomball Emergency Assistance Ministries (TEAMS). These two organizations have been a blessing to so many in need and CR Buyers is there to help support their cause.

Thank you to all of our donors and sponsors over the last year. We could not do it without all of your generosity!!

Also a big shout out to all of our CR Ambassadors and Presidents!! Our volunteers are what make this organization go!!

We are looking forward to a big 2027, starting with our Spring Shrimp Boil Fundraiser on Sunday May 31st at The Hideaway on Dunvale. TICKETS ON SALE VERY SOON!!!
