Page 371 Lincoln Daily News 2025 Logan County Fair Jul/Aug 2025 The fi nal auction was for the steers, but there was one more award to give out before this part started. This award was the Miller Award, and this went to Callie Carlton. Then came the steers. While there were many great animals on display, one went for the highest price of the day. Beau Tschantz displayed his Grand Champion cross breed steer, and the bids started pouring in. They went past $3,000, then past $4,000, and even past $5,000. It was only once the bidding reached $7,500 did the bids fi nally stop coming in. In addition to selling for the most, Tschantz’s steer was also the largest one in the group, at 1,460 pounds. Cory Holmes of Holmes Farms had the honor of taking this steer home. Overall, it was a very successful 4-H auction. With all of the 4-H projects combined, the kids raised a total of $80,250. Some of that money is returned to the 4-H students to either see them off , as some of the 4Hers presenting projects were in their last year of 4-H, or to help them raise another project for next year.
