2024-2025 Sheep Showing

[Margali]

Cassandra has agreed to try market lambs next year so Junior FFA at school is a go! That should hook her into correct group.

Also Katahdin now designated breeding show at Houston!!! Registered Hair Breeds is Katahdin, Royal White, and Texel. Need to see requirements in open show...

The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo? That’s great news!

Yes the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo on March 2nd - March 5th! I may be insane but I am thinking about showing in the Open Show. Want to join me? www.rodeohouston.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/2025-Exhibitor-Handbook.pdf page 100

I looked at the classes. I don’t think I’d have any of my registered ewes ready for show. Most are bred now to be lambing in January. No registered lambs would be old enough either. But I’ll go day of show and cheer for you!

We got there at 11:09 and we're finally checked in and set up at 1:35pm. This is first time the show has used this facility and I think it shows.

Cassandra gave Socks and both of us a bath. The heated dryer feature is a keeper. I was being hailed a hero since I tracked conduit across barn to find the breaker box and turn on circuit in our area.

The class lists have posted. Cassandra and Oreo have 2 competitors in the yearling class. Cassandra and Socks have 6 competitors in the lamb class.

Blowdry time!
