The 2025 Florida State Fair was a showcase of outstanding Brahman genetics, competitive spirit, and hard work, with exhibitors from across the south bringing their best to the ring. At the center of it all was Zach Mosley, who captured the prestigious Grand & Senior Champion Gray Female title in the Open Show with DMC Lady Polled Nova 10/2 (P). This remarkable cow calf pair, sired by the legendary +M2 BRC Captain 518/1 and out of LMC Polled Muneca 74/0 (P), stood out for her structural correctness, power, and femininity, impressing Judge Ernie Dominguez and taking home the top honor.
