The Mercer sisters continued the tradition of success at the dairy show.
This time around it was Lindy Mercer who showed the supreme champion heifer July 14 during the Jay County 4-H Dairy Show at Jay County Fairgrounds. Lucas Lyons showed the supreme champion dairy cow.
Lindy’s win continued a streak for the Mercer girls after younger sister Elise showed the supreme champion heifer in 2020. The Mercers swept the 2019 event with Lindy showing the supreme champion heifer while eldest sister Carissa had the supreme champion cow.
The run extends much further back:
2018 — Lindy (supreme champion dairy female)
2017 — Elise (grand champion dairy heifer)
2016 — Carissa (supreme champion dairy heifer) and Lindy (supreme champion dairy animal)
2015 — Carissa (grand champion heifer)
2013 — Lindy (supreme champion cow)
In addition to the supreme champion title this year, Lindy was the advanced showmanship champion. She also showed the Ayrshire grand champion and the champion Ayrshire junior and registered holstein junior.
Along with his supreme champion cow, Lyons also won for registered holstein senior champion and registered holstein grand champion.
Showing the reserve supreme champions were Maliah Fosnaugh (heifer) and Seth Degler (cow).
