Other Breeding Champions recognized Friday were Isabella Godman of the Bracken County 4-H, who won Grand Champion Wether Dam; Logan Hollen of the Grant County FFA, who won 3rd Overall Wether Dam; and Sydney Alsip of the Boone County 4-H, who won both the 4th and 5th Overall Wether Dams.
The Championship Drive presented by Farm Credit Mid-America recognizes the best of the best from 525 exhibitors and nearly 900 entries. 4-H and FFA members work all year with the hopes of being crowned as a class winner. After shifting from the Sale of Champions to the Championship Drive in 2018, more students are able to showcase their market goats, sheep, swine and steers.
