Governor’s Sale of Champions brings in more than $280,000 for Illinois ag youth

More than $280,000 was invested toward the future of Illinois ag youth during the 2023 Governor’s Sale of Champions at the Illinois State Fair.

Governor JB Pritzker and First Lady MK Pritzker had the winning bid on the Grand Champion Steer for the 4th year in a row at $105,000 which tied the record the First Lady set in 2021. The steer will be donated to Feeding Illinois and sent to food banks across the state.
