Kristen Nicole Barnett of Clark County Ohio went home with a lot of ribbons
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.
Alison Gossman of Ross County, Ohio received first place in Junior Fancy Chickens, Reserve Grand Champion of Fancy Chickens and Junior Showmanship of Poultry at the 2013 Ross County Fair with her Buckeyes. Her mother, Karen Gossman, wanted to thank Jeff Lay of Crains Run Ranch and Meloni Grubb of Chillicothe for helping the Gossman family with their Buckeye project!
Sydney Shumaker of Clinton County, Ohio took top honors with her Champion Buckeyes in Egg Production at the Clinton County Fair this summer. She was also awarded overall “Outstanding Fancy Exhibitor, an award given for the many years of success she had showing her fowl.

At the Olmsted County Fair in Rochester, Minnesota the Buckeyes also did well for the 4H kids. Shown by the Courson family, they took Grand and Reserve with a Buckeye Cock and Hen, breeding pen. Below are pictures courtesy of Theri Voss and Prairie Chick Poultry.
The American Buckeye Club would like to congratulate ALL the
4H children and families who participated in showing poultry at county fairs all over the
country and to those who elected to show Buckeyes, thanks for supporting the
breed!
