Although it was a dreary morning on
Thursday, the 4-H sheep show drew a large crowd. Family and friends
packed the bleachers and aisles of the sheep barn to support their
4-Hers. Junior Miss Falyn Farmer and Little Miss Finley Farmer were
on hand to help present award ribbons.
The sheep show highlights both
breeding and market classes as well as special classes like the
Sheep Scramble Class. The breeding sheep division is judged based on
structural correctness, breed standards, and fleece quality. Among
the breeds featured this year were Dorper, Dorset, Hampshire, and
Montadale. They are further broken down into age groups by ewe lamb,
ewe 1 year and older, ram lamb, and pair of lambs. The market sheep
are judged based on their meat traits and are split into
lightweight, mediumweight, and heavyweight classes. As the 4-H
exhibitors brought out their sheep, the judge examined each sheep
thoroughly and provided feedback to each exhibitor on their sheep.

Supreme Overall Female: Raylon Schreiner

In the Scramble class, awards
are given for appearance, showmanship, conformation, and record
keeping. The Sheep Scramble is not won through a traditional
scramble, but through an essay contest. The sheep are then
donated and sponsored by various donors for the youth to care
for throughout the year. Emma Boerma, daughter of Brian and Sara
Boerma from Hartsburg, swept all four categories.
The Sheep Scramble class was ranked as follows:
1st: Emma Boerma
2nd: Hannah Glandon
3rd: Camden Fowler
4th: Scout Coers
5th: Emerson Bolen
6th: Robby Benner
As the main show wrapped up, lunch was provided to those in
attendance and excitement built for the afternoon’s Peewee Sheep
Show and the Costume Contest.
