Steer wins $1000 at Great Jones County Fair prime show
Todd Knepper, 17, Worthington, won $1000 when his Angus-Limousin steer topped the Prime Steer Show at the Great Jones County Fair. Knepper selected the steer from his father’s feedlot and could not halter-break it, but the breed mix and market-price scoring propelled the victory as top buyer judges awarded the prize. The event caps a busy fair with open showcases, sales, and entertainment as the second largest in the state ends today.
