May, Hutzler set the tone in dairy beef show

Some new names topped the dairy beef show this year.

Carter May showed the grand champion dairy beef feeder July 8 during the 4-H dairy beef show at the Jay County Fair while Jordyn Hutzler had the grand champion dairy beef steer.

A Dues — Sam twice and Max once — had won for dairy beef feeder in each of the previous three years.

A pair of Dirksens took the reserve champion banners — Veronica for dairy beef feeder and Eli for dairy beef steer.
