Showing Sheep at the York Fair

September 6-9th 2013

 This year was a rough one. Trying to learn everything about showing and how to care for your animals. My daughter Emma didn't take any of hers to the fair, but she was able to help her friend out. At the same time she is helping, she is learning what she needs to do for next year. She is so happy and grateful to her friend Carrie for giving her the chance to learn.

Emma is in the green and Carrie in white.

 Here they are Friday morning washing, shearing, and blow drying the lambs to get ready for showing that night.

The lambs are in their new blankets that the girls were given for being their 1st year.(4-H)

Carrie and Emma Showing.

Emma had so much fun she can't wait for next year. We have been planning next year already. Look out here we come.. lol.  I know Emma was able to do showmanship,(so glad 4-h allowed her to participate) which is judging her on showing her animal. She won 5th place. Carrie won (4-H) 2nd ,7th , 5th ,  (open class) 7th ,16th ,17th place.

Emma is the one bent over.

A fun show for everyone.

Emma has learned a lot this pass year. Since she has been home she has been out their working with the animals. Emma and her daddy are going to be shearing the sheep this week, Emma can't wait.
