and trophies this year! She was
successful with her goats, ducks, turkeys and chickens at the 2013 fair but it
was her Buckeye Cock that was #1 Cock (large fowl). Kristen’s parents, Jason
& Stacie Barnett are very proud of their daughters accomplishments and the
hard work she puts into her 4H projects.
