Bloomington Area Produces Third Straight Grand Steer Champion
Harvey Hartter of Carlock won the 1966 International Livestock Exposition grand championship with Blackie, an Angus steer bought two months earlier from a Milledgeville 4 H girl. The victory marks the third consecutive win by a Central Illinois Angus group member within 20 miles of Bloomington. The piece outlines a traditional three part recipe for success: calf quality, fitting, and showmanship, with input from local growers and hobbyists including Janet Perring and the Reeser family.
