Vickland sweeps at Junior National Hereford Expo steer showColorado Exhibitors from across the U.S. gathered for the Junior National Hereford Expo in Denver, Colo., July 11, but it was Grant Vickland, Longmont, Colo., who walked away with both grand champion steer on hoof and carcass steer honors. Judge Jeff Mafi, Stillwater, Okla., commented that amongst the 84 steers exhibited Vickland had the most complete steer in the grand drive that combined muscle, shape and structural soundness. Vickland's champion steer, weighing 1,275 lb., was sired by DB Hard Drive ET. The steer scanned a 14.8 inch ribeye, .42 backfat and a 4.96 marbling score, which calculated to a 2.52 Yield Grade and a carcass weight of 790 lb. Mafi followed with Chance Deppe, Maquoketa, Iowa, for reserve with an 1,290-lb. steer sired by DB Hard Drive ET. At check-in ultrasound data was collected on all steers for the carcass contest. Steers were scanned for fat thickness, ribeye area and marbling score. Tyler Cowan, Maple Hill, Kan., won reserve champion carcass steer honors with a 1,225 lb. steer sired by JCS Showtime. The steer scanned a ribeye area of 12.5 inches, .34 inch backfat and a 4.33 marbling score, which calculated into a 2.94 Yield Grade and a 760-lb. carcass weight.
