𝐇𝐀𝐏𝐏𝐘 𝐁𝐈𝐑𝐓𝐇𝐃𝐀𝐘, 𝐉𝐈𝐌🥳

At this point, if there's a sponsorship opportunity, a fundraising auction, The Block, or an exhibitor bag involved, there's a pretty good chance the Sloan family has found a way to support it.

We're not saying Jim can't say no... we're just saying we've never actually seen it happen.

Thanks for years of backing exhibitors, supporting our events, and always stepping up when asked. Folks like the Sloans are what keep this industry rolling.

Have a great birthday, Jim 🎣😂🎂

EDIT: WRONG Ohio does have The Buckle Showdown in Piketon. Sorry for missing that!

Ohio has blessed us with ANOTHER weekend of absolutely nothing to do. No sheep shows. No goat shows. Just endless free time and yard work. 😒
Or...
You could point the truck north and head to ❌ichigan for the Summer Spectacular.

We've heard the judges are pretty decent😉 and the show management at the Summer Spectacular is tolerable 🤣

If you're tired of staring at an empty Ohio show calendar, Lansing might be the cure.

Tell Tim we sent you.

AND Make the weekend a FULL weekend with another exciting Ohio Judge…the ever popular Matt Chaney. Stick around Sunday and show at Spartan Showdown.

Wolf Bros doesn't need much of an introduction around the sheep industry.

For generations, Wolf Bros. has been producing, exhibiting, and supporting sheep programs across Ohio and beyond. Their success in the Natural Sheep world includes champions at major state and regional events, including Champion Natural Ewe honors at the Ohio State Fair and numerous breeding sheep banners over the years👏

Most of you know Alex as a judge. He travels across the country evaluating sheep at shows and jackpots from coast to coast. Behind the scenes, the Wolf family has built a program with a long history of success both in and out of the show ring (congrats, Bradyn, on your recent win and nothing better than with one you raised).

We are incredibly grateful for their sponsorship of the MBM and for stepping up as consignors at The Block. Thank you to Alex and the entire Wolf family for supporting youth exhibitors and helping make these events possible.

🗣️Big thanks to Team Waz Club Lambs for supporting MBM and The Block this year!

Watching Seth’s journey has been pretty cool. We remember him as a showman in the ring, then as one of our scholarship recipients, and now as a sponsor and a consignor at The Block. It's one of those full-circle moments that reminds us why we do this♥️

Seeing kids grow through this industry and come back as young breeders, leaders, and supporters is what it's all about. We're grateful to have Team Waz in our corner and excited to see what the future holds.

🗣️A big 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐊 𝐘𝐎𝐔 to Will Show Stock for their sponsorship this year!

If you aren't already following along, do yourself a favor and hit that follow button. The wins are piling up in a hurry (below are just a FEW).

📍Located in Ft. Recovery, OH, make sure you are locked and loaded for a barn tour this fall/winter.

Keep stacking banners!

One of the coolest parts of doing this for 11 years is watching kids grow up 😭

We first met many of our exhibitors as young kids dragging lambs around the ring, and now we're watching them accomplish incredible things far beyond the show barn.

A huge congratulations to Nora Jackson on being named Valedictorian of her graduating class! 🎓

The dedication, work ethic, and determination it takes to reach the top of your class are the same qualities we see in great stockmen and stockwomen. We couldn't be more proud to see another Ohio sheep exhibitor achieving big things.

Congratulations, Nora! We can't wait to see what comes next. 🐑❤️🎓

🚨 ATTENTION BANBURY FOLKS 🚨

Don't act surprised... we know a large percentage of this page can identify bourbon bottles faster than they can identify sheep breeds 🤣

Our friends Ohio Boer Goat Boosters are trying to get these raffle tickets sold, and frankly, some of these bottles are worth more than a few of the sheep we've all fed this year. 🙄

So let's help our goat friends get these tickets gone. Because today it's bourbon. Tomorrow they might need us to buy goat-related things, and that's a much harder sell. 😂🥃🐐

Year 2️⃣

The sponsors behind this series are second to none, investing in young exhibitors and helping create opportunities that go far beyond the show ring. We're proud to be a small part of it.

The spring season is winding down, but don't get too comfortable... plenty more shows and points are still up for grabs this fall! 🍂

Remember…Support those who support you.

A huge THANK YOU to our 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔 𝐒𝐇𝐎𝐖𝐁𝐎𝐗 𝐒𝐎𝐂𝐈𝐄𝐓𝐘 𝐒𝐏𝐎𝐍𝐒𝐎𝐑𝐒!

✔️Need livestock? Call a breeder who gives back.
✔️Need feed or supplements? Reach out to the companies supporting our kids.
✔️Need products or services? Start with the people supporting this industry.

🔥 TODAY'S THE DAY! 🔥

The Beatty's Club Lambs Sire Showcase kicks off today in Indiana, Pennsylvania, and if you're making the trip, we wish you safe travels and a great day with friends, fellow breeders, and sheep people from across the country.

The donor viewing, private bid opportunities, sire showcase, and buck barn tours are all worth the trip, but don't overlook what could be one of the most valuable parts of the day...

🎤 The Producer Panel & Q+A at 1:30 PM

When you get Greg Beatty, Tyler Rhoads, Derek Adam, Stefan Fink, and Daniel May in one place answering questions about AI, ET, IVF, breeding season prep, and what works in their programs, there's a lot to be learned. Bring your questions and take advantage of the opportunity.
