Bulls
Grand Champion
"The uniformity from chest to fore rib back into the flank suits me right down to the ground. Congratulations — you've done a really nice job with this one."
Reserve Champion
"Our reserve is deep-sided and bold-ribbed, with a big spring and turn to her rib. You've done a tremendous job with this one."
Heifers & Cows
Grand Champion
"This cow has the most genuine width and genuine shape to her body when you step behind the cattle. A great job of feeding this one to an endpoint — the handle quality shows it."
Reserve Champion
"This cow is a big-forearmed, stout-featured steer loaded with red meat and power. Hats off to these exhibitors for the work they've put in getting them here."
Steers
Grand Champion
"Get behind our champion and he swallows the class in width, square and stout from stifle to stifle. Not real easy to show, and the presentation out here was really good."
Reserve Champion
"Take the one standing reserve to a yield-grade-driven grid and he stamps the lowest number of the set. Hats off to these exhibitors for the work they've put in getting them here."

"The bull at the top is fresh bodied and opened up through the fore rib. A great job of feeding this one to an endpoint — the handle quality shows it. Nice class of females; we liked them the way they lined up."

BB Full Flavor FBFFV
"Our runner-up is bold in his forerib and deep in his heart, and holds it back through his flank. With that,. Cuts up in her flank and gets shallow back through her rear rib."
