NETLA 2021 Hopkins County Junior Market Lamb Show Results

Northeast Texas Livestock Association’s annual Hopkins County Junior Livestock Show started with an agriculture mechanics project show and contest on Tuesday, then got into full swing Thursday with FFA and 4-H members from across Hopkins County showing their lamb and goat projects. The lamb show started the show, and featured five classes, three showmanship categories and concluded with the naming of grand and reserve champions.

Annie Horton not only showed and placed first in Class 2 and Class 5 with her lambs. The Sulphur Springs FFA member also won the Senior Showmanship award with her Class 2 project, and her Class 5 project was named Grand Champion Lamb, marking the fourth year in a row she has exhibited the top lamb at the county show.

Hopkins County 4-H member Reese Ragan’s lamb not only won first in Class 3 but was named the 2021 Reserve Champion Lamb.

Ramsey Ragan, a Hopkins County 4-H member, earned the Intermediate Showmanship award with a third place Class 2 lamb. Ramsey earned the Junior Showmanship award with a lamb last year.

Ryan Ragan earned the Junior Showmanship award with a first place Class 1 lamb. The Hopkins County 4-H member also showed the first place Class 4 lamb, which will be shown third overall at the Sale of Champions.
