Holy cow! Jr. Market Steer Grand Champion sells for $1 million, ties record

 

The 2024 Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo Jr. Market Steer brought out the big bucks!

This year’s champion, a Simmental raised by Blaize Benson of San Angelo, Texas, sold for $1 million, tying a HLSR record. The donors for the sale were Barbra and Don Jordan, Laura and Steve McNear and Chris and Lisa Cunningham.

...Blaize and his family have shown at the Rodeo every year since 2017, except for 2020. Chelsie Benson, Blaize’s mother, said this achievement will have a lasting impact on her son.

“He works really hard, and we’ve done this since he was eight. It doesn’t go this way very often; I know this is a core memory that he’ll have forever.”...more
