2:40Now PlayingCroix Reimann of South Dakota raised the Grand Champion Steer of the 2024 National Western Stock Show. The Reserve Grand Champion Steer was raised by Mason Shalla of Iowa.
The two steers will be sold Friday night at the Auction of Junior Champions at the National Western Stock Show live on 9NEWS at 6:30 p.m.
Last year, the grand champion steer Stan the Man, shown by LaSalle resident Justin Pfannebecker, sold for a record $200,000, to Ames Construction Company. The previous steer record was set in 2022 when the champion steer sold for $160,000.
The auction is the final marketplace for the ribbon-winning steers, lambs, hogs and goats that were raised by junior exhibitors, 4-H and FFA youngsters ranging in age from 9 to 18. The goal of the auction of grand champion and reserve grand champion animals is to encourage today’s youth to seek a future in agriculture and to further their education.
A majority of the winning bid price goes directly to the junior exhibitor, and 10% of each bid price is donated to support the National Western Scholarship Trust. Of the thousands of junior market animals that compete at the National Western Stock Show each year, only 96 qualify for the Auction of Junior Livestock Champions.
