CORVALLIS, Ore. (AP) — A $5,000 reward has been offered for information leading to an arrest in the disappearance of a prize sheep from the Benton County Fair.
The ewe named Millie was raised as a 4-H project by 13-year-old Michael Lorain of Philomath.
She vanished from the fairgrounds two weeks ago after winning her division in the livestock competition.
The Gazette-Times newspaper reports that Michael Lorain’s grandparents, Paul and Lola Skirvin, put up the reward money in hopes the thief will be brought to justice.
