The future of farming appears to be in good hands after a recent auction in Wisconsin. During the 2024 Clark County Fair in Neillsville, Anna Kayhart, an agricultural education student at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls, exhibited her Grand Champion Dairy Market Steer. On Saturday August 10th, the morning of the animal market sale, a fire destroyed the milking barn of Clark County dairy farmers Jeremy and Bethany Oberholtzer. Later that day at the sale, the auctioneer announced that selfless Anna had decided all proceeds from her Grand Champion Dairy Steer would be donated to the Oberholtzers to help with rebuilding their dairy facility. Anna’s 1408-pound steer was purchased by Lynn Dairy in Granton, Wisconsin for a bid of $15.75 per pound, raising over $22,000.00 for the Oberholtzer’s farm recovery. Kayhart is also the recipient of a Wisconsin Rural Opportunities Foundation Premier Scholarship Award.
