Abingdon High School Student is Grand Champion at State Fair of Virginia

Congratulations to Abingdon FFA member, Ryan G., for exhibiting the Grand Champion Market Lamb and the Grand Champion Commercial Ewe at the State Fair of Virginia in early October.

Showing sheep is a part of Ryan’s Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) project through FFA and he works hard each year training, feeding, and exhibiting his lambs.  Ryan also placed 10th in his showmanship class.  After the show his Grand Champion Market Lamb was sold in the State Fair of Virginia’s Sale of Champions.  As the winner he will also receive scholarships from the State Fair of Virginia for college.  Congratulations Ryan!
