Isaiah Snipes (Lewistown) brought home top dollar for his pair of champions at the Jr. Fair Livestock Auction on Friday.
Snipes grabbed both the Grand Champion and the Reserve Champion in the T-Bone Steer category. (Audio interviews and pictures included.) The Grand Champion sold for $3250. The winning bid came from Jim Duff, Mr. Concrete, Ohio Ready Mix, and Ohio Lumber. The Reserve Champion went to National Salt Distributors, Steve Austin's Auto Group, Liberty National Bank, Wendy's, Kroger, and Hollanshead-Kinsey Insurance for $2000.

In the Beef Feeder category, Troy Hall (East Liberty) picked up the Grand Champion title, but elected not to sell.

Listen to Bleininger talk about selling her award-winning goats.
