During the 2026 International Brangus Show at the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo, Chris and Sharee Sankey of Council Grove, Kansas, were honored with the Jake White Lifetime Achievement Award
Established in 2019, the award recognizes individuals who exemplify the passion, competitiveness, and stockmanship of the late Jake White. Longtime exhibitors and respected breeders, the Sankeys spent decades in the show ring representing top programs across the country and have exhibited numerous National Champions and Show Animals of the Year.
Their connection to Jake White began in 1988 with the purchase of their first herd bull, BBI Exacto 55W3, whose successful show career helped shape a lasting friendship and mentorship that influenced the Sankeys’ approach to the cattle business.
Please join us in congratulating Chris and Sharee Sankey on this well-deserved recognition for their dedication to the Brangus breed.
