I need to find out if I missed something.  Was watching the Denver Open Shorthorn Plus show today.  Kane Aegeter had Grand Heifer.  After he pulled out the Res. Division to him took his spot in the line up (Ward from Ohio with blue roan).  The judge didn't take much more time and selected, I thought, the Div. Champ in front of the Ward blue roan (Mallory McCormick with a red and white).  She pulled out and walked over next to Aegeter as she should.  About that time the announcer said Res. Grand, Dawson Ward.  I checked the results page just now and that's the way it's listed also.

Are the results and announcer wrong?  Did the McCormick girl pull out by mistake?  Was this another "Steve Harvey" like mistake (Miss Universe)?  I was sure the judge walked to the McCormick heifer and then she pulled out.  He looked at Ward's blue roan but didn't walk up to her, went right to McCormick.  Anyone know who really won and what happened?

Yeah, I was waiting to hear, "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, it was my mistake, it's right here on the card.  The reserve champion is.....".  I guess whoever got to take the banner home is the real winner.  My concern with this is I'm acquainted with the Ward family and folks that work with them and I wanted to know, did they win or not.  I will say this doing some show announcing myself.  You're only as good as the information that is given to you.  But the announcer catches the grief as the messenger.  I always try to watch closely what the judge is doing and not depend solely on other's info.
