We caught up with Ms. Gabbie Raute, exhibitor of the Grand Champion Market Lamb at the 2025 Indiana State Fair. Learn a little more about Gabbie below!
What feed product do you feel helped them the most?
Bullet proof and shredded!
What show day supply could you not go without?
Silk! It helps keep their hides fresh handling
What did you do to prepare that helped set yourself apart?
My aunt I worked our sheep in a different part of the yard everyday and by the road so they could hear cars flying by so they wouldn’t be easily freaked out in the ring
What was the funniest thing that happened while you were preparing for the State Fair?
The funniest thing that happened with this lamb in particular would be when I forgot to shut his pen after grabbing his bucket and he ended up running around the barn for ten minutes while I chased him
What was your celebratory dinner choice?
My celebratory dinner was nothing fancy just some string cheese and a celcius to stay awake on the drive home
