This year there were seven Gold Seal carcasses that had USDA Quality grade with a minimum

Colton Zumalt, Los Molinos 4-H had the steer with the top carcass and Gold Seal. He sold to
John Wheeler Logging with a live weight of 1190 pounds. Grading Choice Plus, a Yield Grade of
1.85, a hot carcass weight of 707 pounds, rib eye of 15.1 inches, and backfat of .40 inches.
Colton received a check and buckle from Tehama County CattleWomen, a trophy from Tri
Counties Bank, and a check from Tehama County Cattlemen and Tehama District Fair.
