We at Mason Livestock wholeheartedly believe in the junior livestock show industry, as we are “products” of the program.
Both of us know that every livestock project has a kid attached to it; therefore, we will treat every customer with the respect that so many producers have shown us. We also believe that there is no better developmental activity available to youth today…one that promotes competition, family, and values. Therefore, we want you to have a good show experience and will work with you in any way, not only in the selection process, but also in management, feeding, showmanship, and grooming help after the sale. Even though we can’t guarantee a champion, we will always stand behind our animals, and believe that the only way to do business is with honesty, integrity, and strength of character as our foundation and success will come.


Please give us a call or e-mail us any time we can help. We would like nothing other than to meet your family, be a part of your champion shows career and help you get to the Winner’s Circle. Thank you for viewing our website and interest in our program here at Mason Livestock.

More about Mason Livestock……
Mason Livestock, owned and operated by Kelton and Carrie Mason, is located near Montgomery, Texas. Both Kelton and Carrie are Texas A&M University graduates, Class of 2004, each with a Bachelor’s Degree in Animal Science. Carrie received a Master’s in Meat Science, as well. Their love of livestock and the show industry began early, with both being fortunate to have very successful show careers.


Kelton exhibited the Grand Champion Market Hog at Houston, San Antonio, and El Paso; and Reserve Grand Market Hog at Houston, San Antonio, the Dallas State Fair, El Paso, San Angelo and North American International Livestock Exposition. In the cattle arena, Carrie exhibited the Grand Champion Steer at Houston, San Antonio, Fort Worth, and Dallas, also winning Reserve Grand Champion Steer at San Antonio and San Angelo.

They both exhibited champion breeding stock at each of the Texas Majors, as well as the National Junior Swine Spectacular and Junior National Charolais and Maine Anjou Shows (Carrie). In addition to these accomplishments, they strived to be the best showman in their given arenas at the time, and knew the only way was hard work, dedication, competitive spirit and support from their families.

While at A&M, Kelton and Carrie were both members of the Saddle & Sirloin Club, where Kelton served as President. They were also members of the 2002 Meat Judging Team, winning numerous individual and team awards. Kelton’s A&M tenure is highlighted by his involvement with the TAMU Livestock Judging Team. He was a member of the 2003 National Champion Livestock Judging Team, which, at the time, set the all time record score, and was one of only two teams in history to win the Triple Crown (National Barrow Show, American Royal, and Louisville). As a member of the team, he was High Point Individual Overall at the American Royal, 2nd High Point Individual Overall at the National Barrow Show and International (Louisville), and was the high individual in Swine Reasons at each of the major Fall Contests. He then served as the Assistant Coach of the 2004 National Champion Livestock Judging team and coach of the 2005 Livestock Judging team that won the National Barrow Show and American Royal.

Kelton, Carrie and Kaden recently relocated to Montgomery, Texas, near Houston. Together they manage a show pig and small show cattle operation. Mason Livestock is a highly focused operation that is geared to producing the highest quality show pigs available. Their passion is to generate the most competitive stock at all levels; however, with the intense selection on quality the numbers have not gotten large, but large enough to meet any of your goals, price range, and specific show needs. Kelton and Carrie also pull from their many years creating connections in the industry to find projects for elect customers on an order basis. In addition to the main segment of the operation, Kelton and Carrie have a small number of club calf cows maintained at Rash Livestock in Willis, Texas. On the side, Kelton thoroughly enjoys judging swine and cattle shows across the nation and has been blessed with the opportunity to sort some of the nation’s most elite shows.
