Yeah, I showed sheep for 10 years when I was younger, and decided to show again (pretty last minute) this year so my stepson could see if he'd like it. These 2 lambs are pretty young for our fair...ideally I would have preferred them being born in Feb, and they were born late April. Plus, with being half Romney they really don't have the body of pure Southdowns, but we're working with what we have. This is more of a fun show to hopefully get my stepson interested, and we'll go from there. We are walking, but don't have the time right now to really walk them as much as they should be walked.
I will be decreasing their hay the week before the show, but I'm not going to totally stop feeding it until the night/morning before the show. I'm not into feeding bass ackwards just to win a ribbon.
But this breeding season I will be getting a Southdown ram, so next year I'll have some nice SD lambs...that's the plan at least!
