“Coming to the State Fair, I was really high and positive on my Hereford steer. I was hoping he would do really well, and he did. He came through and he won the Herefords,” said Brooks. “Then we got to go to the Colosseum. That was a very fun experience and little did I know that he was going to be chosen as the Reserve Grand Champion Land of Lincoln Steer. That could be a once-in-a-lifetime memory for me so it was very exciting for me, my family, and the crew that helped us.”

Brooks is a member of the Willing Workers 4-H Club and has been showing livestock since she was three years old.
