Buyers of Sweeting’s goats included the West Side Store, Lonz Law Firm, Secor Funeral Home, Myers Chrysler Dodge and Ram, Northern Ohio Rural Water, Wasiniak Construction and Commodity Blenders. Earning the grand champion spot in the meat market goats was Austin Hunker, who sold his for $600 to White’s Automotive Services, A-1 Auto Sales, Bungard Mack Insurance, Lonz Law Firm, Northern Ohio Rural Water and Microcharged. The reserve champion for dairy goats was Makena Calame.
