Show me the cattle! Grand Champion Steer sells for record-breaking $1 million.
HOUSTON, Texas -- The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo ended its last weekend with a historic bang after the new Grand Champion Junior Market Steer Vanilla Ice, sells for record breaking $1 million.
Aven was raised around the cattle industry and has been showing since she was in the third grade. She credits her parents for her love of showing cattle, who also showed cattle when they were in high school. Although, this isn't Jordan's first cattle purchase. In 1987, he purchased the Grand Champion Steer for $75,000.
"These kids are what Houston is all about. People just want to be able to give back," said Alan Kent. With Saturday's record-breaking steer purchases, Aven will receive $85,000 and Tristan will receive $45,000.
