We caught up with the breeder of the Grand Champion Market Lamb at the 2024 Illinois State Fair. We invite you to read our candid interview with Williams Family Club Lambs below and please continue to check back often for our next edition of “Breeder Spotlight.”
What’s the pedigree of your champion?
Sire: Frog
Dam: Pegasus x Drop the Mic
What is one thing you still want to accomplish as a breeder?
Our mom grew up in Colorado and so the National Western Stockshow was always her favorite and one she always hoped Kent or I would be one of the top two at and we never won the Grand or Reserve slot showing so raising one that made it into one of those two slots would be a great accomplishment!
Favorite show ring trend?
The shag
Favorite industry sire of all time?
Would have to say Drop the Mic or Unicorn.
Most influential female in your flock? Why?
Our initial donor ewe “Star” is one that I showed my last year and her daughters continued to be donors and now the majority of our ewe base goes back to her.
Favorite show animal you’ve ever seen?
I can’t narrow this down to one we have had the privilege to have seen, shown, and been apart of several amazing animals throughout the years.
