Grant County Fair Champion
« on: August 21, 2023, 11:23:21 AM »
This was my daughter's last Grant County Fair. Showing Lambs her whole career, she wanted to show a steer before her showing opportunities wound down to the end. Last fall, we brought home a steer from our families herd, and her steer project was underway.  She showed beef prospect and FFA Novice at Grant County Fair. There were only 3 prospect beef, and my daughter and steer placed 3rd. They showed really well, though. All the time spent walking and grooming her steer was appearing to be time well spent. The next day was FFA Novice Fit & Show. My daughter showed her steer very well, and won Grand Champion! On to the Round Robin she would go! Round Robin Champions would be named at the awards ceremony on Saturday.  At the awards ceremony,  she was awarded a beautiful Fit & Show Grand Champion buckle. When Round Robin winners were announced,  her name was called again! She won her class in the Round Robin. What a wonderful week at the fair. One more fair to go.

Congratulations to her, that’s not an easy task.👍

What’s the breed of the steer?

Right wing shooter, I aim for the left!!!

Nowhere in your incoherent rambling did you come close to what can be considered a rational thought. Everyone is now dumber having heard it. I award you no points and may God have mercy on your soul.

This steer's Father is a registered Charolais bull, his mother is a Angus X. The Steer "Odie" has been a great animal. He has been very mild tempered, and a really fun project.

Good luck to your daughter on the last show. Is this like 4-H where they then auction off the steer?

Yes! Sure is. The steer will be auctioned off at the FFA/4-H auction in Othello.
