Kyle Davis of Guthrie FFA Exhibits Grand Champion Market Lamb at 2014 OYE

Of the thousands of market animals that were exhibited by their young 4-H and FFA owners this week at State Fair Park in Oklahoma City, it all came down to the final handful of top animals that were in the hunt for the Grand Championship for their species. For the Market lambs- the best of best was shown by Kyle Davis of the Guthrie FFA Chapter. His Champion Crossbred was declared the Grand Champion on Thursday evening during the Grand Champion Drive in the Norrick Arena.
The Reserve Grand Champion Market Lamb was shown by a past Grand Champion winner at the OYE in the market lamb division- Tyler Rhodes of Indiahoma FFA. Tyler owned and showed the Grand Champion lambs in 2010 and 2012 at the OYE- and just missed his third Grand Champion win here in 2014. Rhodes won Reserve honors with his Champion Hampshire market lamb.
Davis and Rhodes will join about 200 other 4-H and FFA members who will be able to say "I made the sale" as they will help headline the Sale of Champions on Friday afternoon at State Fair Park in Oklahoma City, beginning at 4 PM.
Pictures of all of the action over the course of the OYE thus far can be found in the photo set for the 2014 Oklahoma Youth Expo we have set up on FLICKR- Click here to go and check out our growing number of pictures in our 2014 collection.
