The top animals in the Beef Division were exhibited by Koyt Tucek and Kasie Hinton when the annual annual Donley County Junior Livestock Show was held last Saturday, January 12, at the Donley County Activity Center.

Tucek showed the Grand Champion Steer, and Hinton had the Grand Champion Heifer.

Other top winners were Mya Edwards and her Grand Champion Sheep; Izzy Craft with the Grand Champion Goat; Maloree Wann and her Grand Champion Gilt; and Hudson Howard with the Grand Champion Barrow.

Reserve Champion honors when to Hudson Howard, steers; Kaitin Ehlert, heifers; Madison Smith, sheep; Chardy Craft, goats; Caton Grahn, gilts; and Koyt Tucek, barrows.

Fifty youth from the Donley County 4-H Club and local FFA chapters exhibited 80 animals during the show. Last year 61 kids showed 105 animals.

The livestock auction following the show generated an estimated $39,050 as of Tuesday morning, and that number will increase as donations continue to be received. The 2018 premium sale totaled about $41,225 at this point last year.
