Broadbent's Takes Grand Champion Prize at Kentucky State Fair

Ryan Quarles, via Twitter

Kuttawa’s Broadbent Hams has once again won the grand champion prize for its country ham at this year’s Kentucky State Fair.

The hams are judged on their aroma, shape, color and ratio of lean-to-fat.

Broadbent’s has been in business for more than 100 years and has taken home the grand champion ribbon more than a dozen times, including two years ago. That year, their champion ham was sold for $2 million at a charity auction.

This year’s winning ham will be auctioned off next week at the Kentucky Farm Bureau’s ham breakfast charity event.
