Hemmelgarn, Sims show top pygmy goats

Tuck Hemmelgarn repeated.

The two other banners were up for grabs after twin 10-year members departed.

Hemmelgarn showed the grand champion pygmy wether for the second year in a row July 9 during the Jay County 4-H pygmy goat show at the Jay County Fair.

Gage Sims had the top pygmy doe while Aubree McClure showed the grand champion pygmy buck.

Twins Melana and Kaylee Zimmerman had combined to earn top pygmy doe honors in each of the last two years.

In addition to his grand champion banner, Sims also won the senior and advanced showmanship titles and went on to represent pygmy goats in the small animal supreme showmanship competition.

Other results were as follows:
