FORT WORTH, Texas — Leadfoot, a 1,324 pound European Cross and the 2024 Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo Grand Champion Steer, sold Saturday morning for $340,000.
Higginbotham, a Fort Worth-based insurance and financial services broker, bought the steer at the auction held at the Fort Worth Stockyards. Watch the auction here:
Leadfoot was raised by 17-year-old Elli Bezner from Dallam Co. 4-H. All proceeds of the sale go to Bezner.
Higginbotham also bought the rights to own last year's grand champion steer, famously named Snoop Dogg, for a record $440,000.
Each year, the auction raises millions of dollars for the student steer handlers.
