Morgan's Miracle

At the 2002 Clearfield County Fair 4H/FFA Junior Livestock Sale, Miracle was purchased by William Williams, Director of Chidboy Funeral Home of Curwensville. Proceeds from his sale were equally shared by the Fair Queen Charity, Queens for Kids and the 4H/FFA Scholarship Fund. Mr. Williams then donated the lamb back to the Livestock Committee to be resold with proceeds from the second sale being given to benefit the Tom Henry Family of R.D. Clearfield who’s daughter, Vickie, was seriously ill and hospitalized. The auction continued, and the second buyer, Joe Wriglesworth, of Hepburnia, donated the lamb back to Mr. Kerr for him to continue raising the lamb for showing at the PA Farm Show. Morgan’s Miracle, the 139 pound Clearfield County Fair Champion Suffolk Cross lamb who’s infamous journey began less than a year ago, did not make it to the auction block at the 2003 PA Farm Show, but his career as a show animal was not in vain. Handling the lamb for the judging was M.P. Kerr of Clover Hill, Clearfield who raised the lamb as a 4H/FFA project.

In order to proceed to the auction block this year, an animal had to place in the top ten of its class. Miracle, however, placed fifteenth and was ineligible to be auctioned, and according to the regulations, had to be sold for his current market value. Miracle was sold at the Farm Show.
