The 2016 Mosaic Youth Steer Show saw 70 students and steers strutting their stuff.
The competition judged steers' appearances, weights and even postures to determine market value. Durant FFA member Jonathan Rowell was named overall grand champion. Newsome FFA member T.J. Hutchinson was named overall reserve grand champion.
Ethan Vaughan was named lightweight grand champion, Dakota Allen was named middleweight grand champion and Rowell won in the heavyweight division.
The steers were sold Saturday, March 12 in the Patterson Co. Livestock Arena on the festival grounds.
