The Missouri State Fair Grand Champion and Reserve Grand Champions Rabbit Meat Pen exhibitors have been announced.

Hadley Coats, of Braymer, is the exhibitor of the 2022 Grand Champion Rabbit Meat Pen at the Missouri State Fair. His prize-winning rabbits weighed an average of 4.7 pounds.

The Reserve Grand Champion honor went to Brayden Gast, of Nevada. Gast’s rabbits weighed an average of 5 pounds.

Coats and Gast are scheduled to sell their rabbits in two of 16 lots offered in the Missouri State Fair Sale of Champions. Proceeds from the annual sale benefit both the winning exhibitors and the Missouri State Fair Youth in Agriculture Scholarship Program, administered by the Missouri State Fair Foundation.
