Owen Friesen was named the 2021 Grand Champion for the Winkler 4-H Beef Club with his Charolais cross steer.

Owen has been in 4-H for four years. This is his second time earning the title of Grand Champion.

He talked about what the judges are looking for.

"Judges are looking for an animal that has the straightest back. You don't want a sway back in it. The legs should be straight and it should walk correctly. It shouldn't have a bow leg or limp or anything like that."

The steer weighed in at 1,510 lbs.
