Lunchbox Named Grand Champion Steer
Lunchbox, raised by Stock Martin, was named the Grand Champion Steer at the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo Friday.
The Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo picked its grand champion on Friday and sold at auction for $205,000 on Saturday.
"This has been our lifelong goal, and to do it with one that we raised by ourselves, it makes it even better -- it just adds to the excitement," said 12-year-old winner Stock Martin, of Hereford.
Martin's 7-month-old European Cross steer, who is aptly named "Lunchbox," stood out to judge Dr. Mark Johnson, who said the steer was an example of what cattle bred to eat should look like.
Lunchbox was born a month premature but, even then, the steer always looked good, Martin said.
"We knew we had a good one when he was born, so me and Dad thought, 'Well, everybody at the show might as well pack their lunch, because we've got one that'll get 'em.'"
Lunchbox sold at auction Saturday for $205,000 to Kris Davis.
Martin, who plans to attend Oklahoma State University, said on Friday he already has plans for the money.
"Put it back into college and then buy more steers, maybe win some more shows," he said.
Last year's grand champion took home $230,000.
