It is rather coincidental that a sixth grader named Stock from the town of Hereford had the winning steer at this year's Fort Worth Stock Show.
Stock Martin had a feeling that his 7-month-old, 1,329-pound European crossbred steer named Lunchbox would be named grand champion this year.
This year marks three decades of which all Grand Champion steers at the Stock Show have been European crossbreds.
Martin's learned to trust his winning instincts after having his steer Woodpecker named reserve champion at last year's Stock Show and his steer Beast win Grand Champion at the State Fair of Texas.
In Stock Show tradition, the Martin family was treated to a steak dinner at Del Frisco's Double Eagle Steakhouse in downtown Fort Worth.
Martin said that whatever money he makes from the sale will go toward his college savings and more cattle.
