The high-selling market animal at the Riley County Fair hit five figures this year, officials said Wednesday.
Lakyn Huncovsky, 17, had the 4-H grand champion steer, which brought $10,000 at the fair’s premium auction on Monday, possibly the highest number to date in Riley County.
Huncovsky is a member of the Wildcat 4-H Club. Members take care of their animals through the year, then show them at the fair before they are auctioned off.
