Scotty McCreery just happened to be at the Illinois State Fair recently opening for a little band called Rascal Flatts. While preparing for the show, Scotty heard through the grapevine that a grandchampion 4-H steer shared the singer’s first and last name, Scotty McCreery.

Scotty tried to win “Scotty McCreery” but Illinois governor Bruce Rauner won the auction at a record breaking $61,000. Governor Rauner won last year’s grand champion as well for $1,000 less.
