Unable to have an auction sale to sell their calves the youth were responsible for selling their own steers prior to the show. The steers were sold on the hanging rail weight.
Grand Champion Steer, with a carcass weight of 894 lb and a AAA grade, was shown by Georgia Romyn, Stratton and sold for $6.50/lb on the rail to The Sharp Group and Leon DeGagne.
Reserve Grand Champion Steer, with a carcass weight of  794 lb  and a AAA grade, was shown by Aaron Bujold, Devlin and sold for $7.00/lb on the rail to Kaemingh Fuels.

Their 4-H District did not have a live show this year. They sold their market steers through a DLMS FarmGate Timed Auction. Marie Harty said, the kids loved it. It was such a learning experience for them because they were able to participate more fully in the auction experience and understand and learn more about the auction process.
