Grand Champ Steer Shown By lowa Girl CHICAGO <UPD— Illinois hogs were favored to wrest the spotlight from lowa cattie todav in barrow contest finals at the International Live Stock Exposition. . The annua* show, oldest and largest in the world, has attracted visits from mere than 150.000 farm and city folk including a scheduled apoearance today by U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson. Favored in competition for the barrow grand championship, highest honor in the barrow world, were entries by Oscar Anderson of Leland, 111. Anderson’s Poland China swine are said to have won more top prizes at the 61-year-old show than any other entries. Anderson’s toughest competition in recent years has come from his teen-age son, Gerald, softspoken veteran winner in junior and coen judging. Until today, the International's spotlight was on lowa. The Hawkeye State Monday produced the grand champion steer of the show, a 1,050-pound junior yearling Hereford owned by 15-year-old Carolyn Kaye Pollock of Mount Auburn. Head cattle judge Stanley Anderson of Lubbock. Tex., spent a tense half-hour scrutinizing nine breed and class champions before giving the grand championship to the honey - blonde farm girl’s "Hercy,” which last week won the junior steer championship. Second place and the reserve grand championship went to Pennsvlvania State University’s P.S. Maximilian, a 1,050-pound summer yearling Aberdeen-Angus. Kaye’s victory with Hercy — “short for Hercules”—ended two years’ domination by the swarthy Aberdeen - Angus breed. Grand champions in 1958 and 1959 were Angus shown by junior exhibitors and Miss Pollock was a crowd favorite in the International Amphitheatre Monday. The grand championship brought a blue ribbon, trophy, and SSOO check from the American Hereford Association. Miss Pollock’s big winnings will come Thursday when Hercy goes on auction for as much as S3O-S3O a pound. Contest rules require toe winning animals to be sold. Buyers usually are restaurant chains or meatpackers and toe “SI,OOO steaks” frequently end up at stockholders’ meetings. “It’s all right, I suppose, but I love him and don’t want to see him go,” Miss Pollock said. Last year’s grand champion brought $22,356 and entertainer Arthur Godfrey paid $31,050 for “Holy Cow,” 1958 grand champion. ■ Kaye said the money will pay the mortgage on their Mount Auburn home and finance an operation for her mother, who has a heart ailment. It.was the petite exhibitor's first try in the International. Kaye chose toe calf from her father's 50-head herd when he was two-weeks old, she said, because “I had a hunch he’d be champ.” She said she planned to be an airline hostess or secretary, but “maybe this will change my mind.” Three More Indiana Youths Are Honored CHICAGO (UPD-Three more Indiana youths were honored today with S4OO college scholarships as 39th National 4-H Club Congress achievement winners.
