Cotton steps up to help two Houston Area Youth Organizations

Cotton recently won the bid for a prized goat from the Cypress-Fairbanks ISD Livestock Show Association.  Cotton in turn donated the prized goat to the Boys and Girls Country of Houston.  The proceeds from the goat will go to further the cause for both youth organizations.
