Henry Clay Koontz Memorial Trophy
Presented in memory of Henry Clay Koontz, this award was first presented in 1986 after the tragic death of Mr. Koontz who was a longtime breeder and promoter of Brahman cattle.
The trophy is a bronze casting of the National Champion Bull, HK Mr. America 61/9, better known as Millionaire. This bull had one of the greatest impacts on the Brahman breed of any bull in history. Each year this award is presented to the ranch or individual who accumulates the most points at the previous year’s International Brahman Show.
