Although the 2014 Illinois State Fair capped off a great year for Cruit Club Lambs, it also ended on a somewhat solemn note as we watched Shelby DeOrnellas and Jansen Cooper, two of our best customers, feeders and showmen finish their Jr. careers at the Illinois State Fair. Shelby came to us as a shy, quiet twelve year old with a smile that could win over the world. As we watched her grow over the years, that smile never changed whether accepting a handshake in a grand drive, receiving a crown in a queen contest, or showing an undefeated lamb near the bottom at Arthur, and for that we were very proud. Her winnings over the years are too numerous to list, but a few of the highlights were winning the overall point standings for the Illinois Club Lamb Assoc. the last two years. This year winning the Hamp, Suffolk, Crossbred, and Shropshire divisions. Also, Shelby showed the Res. Grand Market Ewe for the second year in a row and the 4th overall wether in the grand drive.
Jansen came on board a few years later with great livestock skills, but not a lot of experience with sheep. He learned amazingly fast and quickly became a very skilled feeder and showman. He capped off a great year winning the Dorset division in the Illinois Club Lamb Assoc. In his final state fair, he had an amazing run, winning Champion Dorset market ewe, Champion Dorset wether, and Champion Suffolk wether, which was the 5thoverall market lamb. He finished a great day by being named Champion Sr. Showman.
Watching both Shelby and Jansen develop over the years has been a very rewarding experience and we consider them both close family members. Their skills and honorable conduct in the show ring have made us feel very fortunate to have them represent Cruit Club Lambs.
