(SEDALIA, Mo.) – Stetson Wiss, son of Brooke and Casey Wiss, is the exhibitor of the 2014 Grand Champion Market Steer at the Missouri State Fair. Stetson is from Lamar, and a member of the Learn-A-Do 4-H Club. Stetson’s prize-winning Crossbred steer, named “Ricky,” weighed 1,325 pounds.
The Reserve Grand Champion Market Steer honor went to the Riley Family, exhibited by Grace Riley, from Pleasant Hill, and a member of the Pleasant Hill FFA. She is the daughter of Tim and April Riley. Grace’s Crossbred steer, named “Knight,” weighed 1,280 pounds.
On Aug. 16, both Stetson Wiss and Grace Riley will sell their steers in two of 12 lots offered in the Youth in Agriculture (YIA) Sale of Champions. Proceeds from the annual sale benefit both the winning exhibitors and the Missouri State Fair Foundation YIA Scholarship Program.
Many livestock exhibitors will work toward earning a place in the ring at the time-honored Sale of Champions Auction. Grand Champion and Reserve Grand Champion Steers, Barrows, Lambs, Meat Goats, Pens of Chickens and Pens of Rabbits will be featured in the auction, which will be held at 1:30 p.m., Saturday, Aug. 16, in the Lowell Mohler Assembly Hall.
