416 lbs will be roasts and steaks. At about $18.55/lb, that’s $7716.80

256 lbs will be ground beef, and stew meat. At about $11.95/lb, that’s $3059.20

Hi! My name is Katie Anderson. I am 9 years old and this is my first year as a Junior member. I have a heifer project this year and her name is Oreo, because she is black and white.

She also has 2 other calves in her pen - my stall mate Sunny, and my bottle calf from last year, Buster. Oreo loves to get scratches on her ears, back, and head. She can be a bit stubborn to lead, but we are working on that. Oreo likes to lick my hand when she is relaxed. I’m excited to show Oreo to you on show day!

Butters is a happy Simmental Angus cross with a stuck-up personality. I selected him because of his sturdy stance and balanced body. He has finished well on his diet of show rations and hay and is excited to see you all at our show!
