Sibling rivalry doesn’t come into play when the brother and sister duo of Cody and Katelyn Johnson take the arena because they both go home champions.

Katelyn showed the Grand Champion Steer, Doc Holliday, at the 2009 Pike County Steer and Heifer Show at Cattleman Park Saturday and Cody showed the Supreme Heifer, Josephine. Cody also showed the best native calf, Leo.

Tammy Powell, Pike County Extension coordinator, said the Johnsons’ calves were outstanding, but they had some stiff competition standing between them and the championships.

“This year’s was a really great show,” Powell said. “The quality of the cattle was excellent. All nine of the young people did a tremendous job in calf selection, the feeding program and taking care of their animals and grooming and preparing them for the show. They are all to be congratulated.

“Half of the native calves were shown born and raised in Pike County. So that’s an indication of the quality of calves being raised right here at home.”

Morgan DuBose showed the Reserve Supreme Heifer, Bella, and Morgan Graham, showed the Reserve Champion Steer, Sonny.
