Grand Champion Market Lamb selected

Opening Day of the 2015 Ohio State Fair on Wednesday, July 29, ended with the selection of the Grand Champion market lamb.  

Judge Cade Wilson of Texas spent the day looking at 660 market lambs and in the end a crossbred wether exhibited by 10 year old Bailee Amstutz of Richwood was named Grand Champion. 

“He’s just a really, really good lamb and I love him,” Bailee said.

The Reserve Grand Champion market lamb was shown by Logan Harvel of Mt. Sterling. 

“He came out of the second heavyweight cross class, he was in Class 31,” said Harvel. “From the start I knew he was pretty good.” 

Harvel exhibited the Grand Champion market lamb last year at the Ohio State Fair. This is Logan’s final year of showing.
