FAIR IS OVER!!

The Toy kids did a great job at the Warren County Fair. Mike took Reserve Sweepstakes Best in Show with his Burbon Red Turkey Tom and Champion Advanced Showmanship along with several other champion and reserve ribbons in Poultry. Steph did pretty well with her birds too, bringing home several ribbons. Rabbits did okay. Steph got one grand champion with her Jersy Wooly Jr. Buck. Mike got a reserve champion on his cookbook for Shooting Sports, "A Buzzard's Guide To Fine Dining" was a hit!!
Gardening and Flowers were really good projects this year and earned both kids a trip to the State Fair in August. And to top of the fair, Steph kicked booty in goats (FINALLY!). Her angora's took Sweepstakes AND Reserve Sweepstakes Specialty Doe's, Champion Jr. Doe, and 3rd Jr Wether. She also pulled out the Intermediate Showmanship plaque!! Go Stephy!!!
We sold the little doe kid at the fair to a fellow 4Her. We still have the wether for $75 and our 3yr billy for $150. Call us at 765-762-2554.
Most of our chickens are going to auction on Friday, but we will still be raising silkies, buff orpingtons, naked necks and salmon favorelle bantams.
Blog the kids and tell them what a good job they did at the fair, and wish them luck at the State Fair in August!! Pictures posted soon.
