The 2024 Market Lamb Show at the Champaign County Fair was held Tuesday night.
Exhibitors showed their lambs to their fullest potential, making it a very exciting and intense show.
In the end, Payton Prince was rewarded as Grand Champion Market Lamb, while her brother, Cameron came in as the Reserve Grand Champion Market Lamb.
The Prince family is a joy to watch in and out of the show ring.
They are determined, passionate, and all-around great people.
