After some very tough decisions, the champion junior and senior heifers were chosen in Hale Arena.

RSF Sophie 185Y, exhibited by H Landon Siek of Blairstown, Iowa, was named Champion Percentage Junior Heifer. This female was born March 27, 2011. Brett Neel of Alden, Minn., received reserve honors with his March 20, 2011, calf, Ms Macho 220Y.

Mary Spencer of Gibbon, Neb., walked away with the Champion Percentage Senior Heifer title with her January 22, 2011, female, Ms Rosie Driver 735Y. Reserve honors went to OBCC Legend S12X, exhibited by Owen Bros Cattle Co. and born Nov. 23, 2010.

Congratulations to these exhibitors!
