Raised by Bryson Cartwright of Auglaize county, Sparkee is a 1200 pound Maine steer who enjoys being scratched under his neck. His favorite snacks are apple NutriGrain bars, Chips Ahoy, and apple flavored cattle treats. He is affectionate, laid back, and loves kids.

Sparkee loves spending time being rinsed and having his hair blown out. He runs to the gate when he sees the trailer pull into the driveway and loves to ride on the trailer with his nose out the side. He loves practicing showmanship skills and working on his perfect pose. He also loves naps in the barn with Bryson by his side.

The RMHC Steer Show is an annual event that celebrates family, community and agriculture by bringing together influential Ohio leaders, 4-H youth and local media personalities in a spirited fundraiser held at the Ohio State Fair.
