We caught up with the breeder of the Grand Champion Market Lamb at the 2024 Iowa State Fair 4-H Show. We invite you to read our candid interview with Morrical Show Lambs below and please continue to check back often for our next edition of “Breeder Spotlight.”
What’s the pedigree of your champion?
Sire :Chief
Dam “Ivy” Gable X 14 X Fanny Pack
This is Ivy’s first baby out of the gate and knew she needed to be flushed this fall. She flushed 20 for the 2025 lamb crop and we are excited to see them hit the ground
What is one thing you still want to accomplish as a breeder?
Making good sheep that people want to feed, that have success for our customers is, and always will be our most important objective.
Favorite show ring trend?
Nah. They are called “trends” for a reason. If you have seen my wardrobe you know “trendy” isn’t a word I worry about much.
Favorite industry sire of all time?
There have been lots of great ones over the years. The ones I most admire are sires that have staying power. Sires who make champions for an extended period of time. That’s impressive to me.
