Long after becoming meat, prized steer is at the center of a legal beef
SARA SHEPHERD
The Kansas City Star
Never mind that he became hamburger and rib-eyes years ago. A prize-winning steer called Friction is living up to his name.
In October 2007, on the night before he was supposed to be auctioned, Friction disappeared from the American Royal Livestock Show.
That much is certain. Then Friction’s tale turns tangled and quite intriguing for a coddled crossbred steer.
That’s because Friction resurfaced a few months later at a big show in Arizona.
