Top of Iowa
Lyle Miller shares impact of winning International Livestock Show
When Lyle Miller of Osceola heard the Top of Iowa Sirloin Steak celebrated its 50th anniversary this year, he realized it had also been 50 years since his own steer named "Top of Iowa" gained international fame.
On Nov. 27, 1962, Miller's 975-pound yearling Angus became the grand-champion winner at the International Livestock Show in the Chicago Amphitheater.
Approximately 7,000 people watched Miller take the top honor of more than 700 entries.
