HARRISBURG (Dauphin
Co.) —Bill Campbell, CEO of
the popular Boss’s Steak and Sea
House chain of family style
restaurants, on Thursday set a new
Pennsylvania Farm Show record
by paying $27,000 for the grand
champion market steer.
Campbell broke the previous
record of $26,000, he set last year.
The grand champion animal, a
Chianina-Angus crossbred steer
exhibited by Tim Kosiorek of
Wattsbuig. was the first animal
sold in the annual sale of three spe
cies of market animals exhibited at
the state Farm Show.
In opening remarks, state Sec
retary of Agriculture thanked the
buyers in the auction of market
animals. He said that in preparing
for the next century, thatthe youth
participating in 4-H and FFA prog
rams will continue to need strong
support from the entire communi
ty, especially the business
community.
He said that to indicate the will
ingness to take on the challenge of
preparing youth for a healthy
future, that it would be a peat sign
if the buyers could see their way to
setting new Farm Show records,
for highest price paid, in each of
the three species.
The tradition of the auction is
that buyers assume that the inflated
prices they pay for the animals will
result in money the youth can use
to improve their lives, mainly
through pursuing additional edu
cation, or improving their animal
raising projects.
