The show, put on by Coers Farm, began at 8 a.m. Many young men and women brought their sheep out to be judged by Cody Zeeck. The day began with the judging of wethers and moved into many different varieties of sheep from there. Annual Logan County 4-H and Dept H Sheep Show adds a new component, the Sheep Scramble Jada Allspach took home the award for Champion Wether, followed by Luke Olson with Reserve Champion. After the wethers and general judging of the different varieties of sheep, four individuals got to show off their sheep in a new part of the show called the Sheep Scramble. Unlike your traditional scramble, this event was organized to provide kids who do not have a sheep of their own with one to present. Kids from Logan, Sangamon, and Menard counties were able to write an essay explaining why they wanted a sheep and how they were going to take care of it until the show. Of nine kids who wrote essays, four were chosen. The first was Shelby Heyen, whose Suffolk Breeder was sponsored by Central IL Ag and the First National Bank in Tremont. The second was Katie Wilson, whose Montdale Breeder was sponsored by Watkins Seed Sales-Pioneer Seed and Rod and Pam Conklen. The third was Ryder Conrady, whose Tunis Breeder was sponsored by 6 Pack Woodworking, Benjie Daugherty, and Don Peasley. The fourth was Robby Benner, whose Cheviot Breeder was sponsored by Rick and Mary Boyer and Conrady Farms, Inc. Continued --
