A bred and owned section was a separate competition at the junior show.
Judge Michael Wheeler of Saskatoon described this as the most important division of the event, in which young people can display cattle they have bred and raised on their own.
The winners of that division were Chance Jackson of Sedley, Sask., with a Black Angus pair, while reserve went to Jennifer Jones of Lloydminster, who also displayed an Angus female.
