“THE FIRST”
“Your first lamb, your first show, your first loss, your first banner, your first state fair, your first majors, your first last time in a ring, your first ewe, your first flock, your first set of lambs, your first sale, your first showmen, your first wins, your first major Banner.”
As showmen and breeders we can all recall many of the FIRST things that we have endured and encountered in the livestock industry. Though some moments are easier to recall then others as the time passes us by.
But a moment like your first Champion State fair banner is one that’s going to be hard to forget. Our focus has always been that every lamb that leaves our barn we stand behind it with full confidence; and the families that show them that they will truly succeed in and outside the show ring.
But moments as big as this one surely couldn’t not have happened without all the hard work and dedication that we share along side of many breeders, friends, and many past and present showmen. We truly and deeply thank each and everyone of you all for your support and help.
We knew from the get go this ewe was a special one and she has proved it all summer long racking in banners every show she went to. Huge congratulations to Carlee Yoho on your success at The State Fair of West Virginia.
