Olympia students excel at FFA Fair

[September 04, 2015]  Tuesday, August 4th, Olympia FFA members participated in the annual Section 9 FFA Fair. Members can compete in showing Beef Cattle, Dairy Cattle, Swine, Equine, Goats, and Sheep.

The first of three contestants entered into the Beef Cattle competition was Genna Van Wye who had many class wins. Ashley Miller brought home Reserve Champion Angus Heifer and Carson Goff came out on top with Champion AOB Heifer and Champion Simmental heifer.

Representing Olympia in the Dairy Cattle competition was Laura Rankin who won Champion Guernsey Heifer.

The swine portion of the show was stacked with four very tough competitors Jenna Kindred, Taylor Davis, Anna Davis and Andy Davis. Andy and Anna both did a great job representing Olympia FFA in the Grand Champion Gilt drive.

Karl Fasse earned Champion AOB Ram Lamb and Champion Suffolk Wether in the sheep show and Griffin Jodlowski represented Olympia well in the Goat show.

“All in all it went pretty well and we all had lots of fun.” said Anna Davis, a Sophomore at Olympia High School.
