2018 Grand Champion Steer "Grey Ray," raised by Lillie Skiles.

The Brown Palace Hotel had to beef up security for some special visitors on Friday, January 19. The National Western Stock Show's 2018 Grand Champion Steer was in the house. The guest of honor, who goes by Grey Ray, was raised by Lillie Skiles (who also raised last year's winning steer), and Reserve Grand Champion Kimbo, raised by Tommy Glover, also made an appearance. Guests inside the hotel enjoyed tea and champagne in the presence of Stock Show royalty — and that's no bull.
