COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Organizers say the auction of champion livestock and exhibits on the Ohio State Fair's final day raised a new high of $236,000 for the fair's youth program and set records in six categories.
The list for Sunday's Sale of Champions at the fair included chickens, lambs and beef, as well as a block of Swiss cheese that represented six dairy champions. It was sold to Kroger Co. for $15,500.
That was among six all-time high prices set Sunday. The grand champion market beef went for $85,000, and the reserve beef champion sold for $40,000. The sale also set new record prices for the grand champions among meat chickens, market goats and market turkeys.
The market goat, turkey and dairy categories were new additions.
Wow that is awesome to see the dedication to youth at such a high level. Congrats to the exhibitors.
