critique this lamb

[feed grass]

We plan to show her when she's fully grown

almost zero shows in the US have classes for sheep over 2 years old. You'll find some 4H shows here and there that do. On the same note- very few shows that are state funded- have classes for crossbred sheep-- most 4H shows do.

When that sheep is fully grown- it won't matter if she's a bottle lamb-- remember, you said fully grown. In the meantime, she'll be the runt of the class, and I've yet to see a sheep show where big, truly didn't matter.

When you ask for opinions- and then argue with each person's-- it doesn't leave a very good tone with them...

This will be the last post I make regarding you.

I would enter, even if it's just for fun...it's fun even if you don't win, and it'll give you good experience. I don't know beans about sheep, but she's very cute!

As has been stated in other threads, we're all different people with different goals and interests. I think what you're doing is a great way to get your feet wet and find out what's what in the sheep showing world. Best of luck with it, I say GO for it as well . Hope you'll keep us posted on yours and your ewes progress.

B/c every time I told you it would be a bad idea- if you planned on winning-- you said came up with some excuse to show it anyways. Sounds to me like you had intended on showing it the entire time- regardless of what was stated as a response to your question...

Which is fine-- I've shown plenty of sheep in my days that I knew were never going to win their class- and hold it against nobody.
