Veseth Cattle Facts
Will Baeth leads with 4-H steer champions for the Veseth Steers. His steer placed Grand Champion in the Red Angus Division and placed 2nd in the overall carcass competition. He had a 9.45 marbling score, which put him in a quality grade of nearly mid-prime. My reaction was we should have left his testicles in that bull and put him out with the cows.
Aubrey Smith from Cohagen got in the winner’s circle for the third time with Veseth genetic descendants.

This will allow more carcass information on our cattle and hopefully down the road some market options for our customer’s cattle. - 41 -
