Last week at the North Carolina State Fair in Raleigh, NC
the Taylor family did extremely well with their Buckeyes. Marie Taylor and her daughter teamed up to
show a few Buckeyes at the fair in the open and junior divisions and came home
with Grand Champions in both!
Congratulations to the Taylor family for their hard work and dedication
to the breed.

the Pee Dee Poultry Show in South Carolina where ABC member Ginni Hallman
participated in her very first poultry show with a few Buckeyes. Her Buckeye Cockerel, which was just 6 months
old, won Reserve American and Ginni was very pleased to say the least!
