Ft. WORTH, Texas — Three NOC students in the Spring 2025 Sheep Production Class were able to make the trip to Ft Worth for the FWSSR Open Sheep Show. Tanner Otto, Ponca City, OK; Abigail Barnhart, Perkins, OK and Chloe Corbin, Guymon, OK, prepped and exhibited the NOC Sheep Center exhibit consisting of 11 head of Dorset and Hampshire sheep raised by the sheep center.
NOC 24015 Dorset Ram earned Champion Ram honors while a flushmate, NOC 24034, earned the Champion Dorset Ewe honors in the Dorset division. NOC was also named the Champion Flock at the FWSSR.
In the Hampshire division, NOC 24064 was selected as the Champion Hampshire Ram and NOC also earned the Champion Flock honors as well.
In all, the exhibit posted top two finishes with all but two of their 11 entries. It was a very successful outing for the NOC Sheep Center Team. We also want to thank our alumni that helped with getting them exhibited, Aaron Mahan and the work of our students at the Sheep Center, Kinzie Bell, Colton Tripp, Shelby Harland, Paige Burns and Adi Sheets.
Tanner, Abigail, Chloe and the other 15 students unable to make FWSSR will be traveling to Houston in March to exhibit the show flock at the HLSR.
