The purchase was made by the Hildebrand family in honor of Jeff Hildebrand’s 65th birthday. Jeff’s daughter, Brittany Hildebrand, spoke on his behalf after he was not able to attend.

“The auction brings all of us together for one common goal,” Hildebrand said. “To promote agriculture, support the youth of Texas, and to showcase western heritage... has often said ‘there is no finer organization than the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo and their ability to support education.” Blaze Mock had the highest sale among goats with his entry—named “Apollo Creed”—going for $305,000.
