Best of the Barns – Show Dad of the Year

A Show Dad is someone who follows your calf when he’s not leading, calms you down after a difficult loss, and is the first to make people move out of the way when you make it to the backdrop. Dads should remind children of the consequences of their actions and positively acknowledge desirable behavior. Fathers who discipline calmly and fairly show love for their children. He is your best supporter and your worst critic at times. We would like to introduce Jerrod Arthur, 2023 Best Of The Barns Show Dad of the Year.

Meet Jerrod Arthur, Dad of 2, Kelton and Kennedy, married to Blayne Arthur. Jerrod Arthur has had an extensive cattle background. He pushes his kids to be the best in everything they do. He supports both of them in their respective interests, and his wife Blayne says, “There’s a lot of things he does well, but I would say being a Show Dad is top of the list for Jerrod Arthur!”

Working with good stock is fun, but supporting your kids by being the ones on the lead is an incredible experience, especially when you do it as a family unit. Stock showing has kept family time constant, marking this family with unforgettable memories.

Jerrod helps feed, clip, water, and do whatever to help his kids find success. A father’s love is forever imprinted on his child’s heart and his child’s memories. Jerrod is ringside unless fitting the next one for another class. He always puts his best foot (and clipper blades) forward for his kids. He shows up for them, all for them. A good father doesn’t tell you he loves you—he shows you.

Many would say this was an automatic choice for Show Dad of the Year. This recognition was a no-brainer for anyone who has seen this father’s love in real life and on the Pulse. Jerrod is one of a kind, giving his kids his all so they can give theirs.

To know Jerrod is to know his love for his kids and his love for being a dad. Happy Father’s Day to the 2023 Best of the Barns, Show Dad of the Year! Your love, guidance, and strength have been our greatest inspiration. Enjoy your special day!
