An Oxford March ewe lamb
that placed 10th at the North Atlan
tic International Livestock Exposi
tion in Louisville, Ky. in Novem
ber won champion of the sheep
meat breeds competition at the
Farm Show on Monday this week.
Blizzard conditions didn’t stop
the Farm Show, and the sheep
show, despite a closing of the state
roads, from continuing with the
sheep judging events on Monday.
The champion of the meat
breeds was exhibited by Mike
Koehler, Schnecksville.
Koehler said this was the first
time he has shown Oxfords at the
Farm Show. The same ewe won
reserve champion in the breed at
the Keystone International Lives
tock Exposition (KILE) in October
last year held at the Farm Show
Complex.
Winning a championship
against many other breeds has its
own challenges.
“Like always, it involves a lot of
work in both management and
genetics,” said Koehler.
Factors such as preparing the
ewe for competition work in a big
way.
“Mike’s a master fitter, one of
the best in the country,” said Suzie
Lcib, Mcchanicsburg, whose fami
ly shows sheep at the Farm Show.
