Swinson and Swinson Team Captures
Lamb Show For Second Year

by: Bobby McDonald

 

"Same story, second verse!" Thursday night's Youth Market Show Lamb Show found the brother and sister duo of Tanner Swinson and Taylor Swinson, of the Sulphur Springs FFA, capturing the Grand Champion and Reserve Champion honors, for the second year in a row. However, it was little brother, Tanner, who beat his older sister, Taylor, this year, to accept the Grand Champion award, with his 206 pound market lamb. Last year it was Taylor's lamb that was selected the best in the show! They are the children of

Guy and Amber Norris, of Sulphur Springs.

"I finally beat her!" exclaimed a smiling Tanner Swinson, after congratulating his sister on winning the Reserve Champion award. "It's only fair that I win ever once in a while!"
