The Show and Sale was on Tuesday, May 30, and they saw 14 animals shown and sold including a charity calf raised to support the Thew family; Mitchell Thew was diagnosed in March with liver failure and was fortunate enough to have the procedure, though he still faces a long recovery. The fundraising steer was auctioned off three times and in total raised $29,480 for the family.
The Grand Champion was a 1,200-pound Charolais raised by Lylah Hoff, and it was sold to Dallas Dundas and Shane Noble of Suede Energy.
