At the completion of 2017, we had several individuals and companies who had donated a steer to the competition from the very beginning, making the completion of the 2017 Grass Futurity year their fifth year. In appreciation, we awarded five year awards to Bill & Ryan Lickley, Brent Eaton, L.G. Davison, Treasure Valley Livestock, Jared Brackett, Carl Lufkin, Tony Bott, and Randy Landcaster.
