Fort Worth Grand Champion Steer Prices 1991-2016

Based on news reports from the archives of the Fort Worth Star Telegram...



The growth rate for the prices from 1991 to 2010, when prices basically levelled off, was 10.8%.

I couldn't find a price for the 2004 grand champion.

The 1996 grand champion only got $100k because it was the 100th anniversary of the show.

That big dip below $150,000 was in 2009, the February after the 2008 financial crisis stuff hit the fan.

Based on normal inflation, the 2016 sale price of $210,000 is still five times what it was in 1991.
