The 2021 Fayette County Junior Fair Market Dairy Show was held on Wednesday with Matthew Webb and Michael Schappacher taking top honors.

The show began around 11 a.m. with the dairy feeder projects going first. Following a couple hours of competition, Webb was named the Grand Champion Overall Dairy Feeder for the third time in his 4-H career. Webb was also named the fifth overall with his other dairy feeder project.

“It feels pretty good to win since this was my last year,” Webb said following the show. “I have one more I could do, but dad isn’t going to take care of him while I am at college. I got reserve champion dairy goat yesterday and between those I think I have had a pretty good week. I want to thank my family, they help me feed them, take care of them and I want to thank the cows as well.”

The rest of the results from the dairy feeder champion drive: Reserve champion Haleigh Moore, third overall D.J. Riley, fourth overall Mitchell Funderburg and fifth overall Webb.

The next to show were the market dairy steer projects which ranged in weight from 1,200 pounds to over 1,700 pounds. Mirroring the feeder show, one exhibitor — Schappacher — took the top grand champion prize and also managed to claim fifth overall with his two projects.

“It is just extraordinary,” Schappacher said. “It shows that hard work and dedication really pays off. I want to thank my family for supporting me. We should be back next year for more competition.”

The rest of the results from the market dairy steer champion drive: Reserve champion Fayette County Fair Queen First Attendant Taylor Moore, third overall Larson Cunningham, fourth overall Kyle Bennett and fifth overall Schappacher.
