Second high individual in 1948 was Robert Totusek, a member of the winning Oklahoma State team. After receiving his masters and PhD from Purdue, he returned to Oklahoma State as a faculty member and coached the judging team from 1953 to 1961. His teams won the contest in 1954 and 1957, and placed second in 1955, 1959 and 1960. One of his students placed as the high individual and seven others placed in the top 5 individuals in the contest. He served as department chair from 1976 to 1990 and was author or co-author of over 200 publications. Like Don Good, he made a bold selection while judging the Angus show at the 1969 International by selecting a bull named Great Northern as Grand Champion. Much like Don Good’s selection of a cross bred steer, the selection of Great Northern radically altered the type of cattle selected in the Angus and other breeds to larger framed, performance-based animals. Robert Totusek’s portrait was inducted into the Saddle and Sirloin Club in 1997.
