Reserve champion market steer went to Mari Fairchild, 14, of Merriman, for a second straight year. She got Husky, the top lightweight steer in the show at 1,160 pounds, from Twin Elm Farm in Chassell and credits the placing to his “wide-set hips and thick back legs.”
Peyton DeClark, 10, of Niagara, Wis., won the grand champion title Friday in the Dickinson County 4-H livestock show with her 1,198-pound middleweight steer, Diesel. On each side of Peyton are her parents, David and Christine DeClark, along with Rodney Cayemberg of Red Valley Farm of Vulcan, which produced the steer. This was Peyton’s first year participating in the market beef show. “I didn’t really think I was going to get it in the first place, since it’s my first year,” she said.
