Any of you guys ever do meat sheep for 4-h? I have a couple questions...
I've had two back and forth emails with a lady from another club that is in charge of the sheep project. She says you buy the lambs in late march and sell them in July and make at least $1200. Sounds like a good deal to me... She said you can do two market animals. But can you do two sheep? Or can you only show one sheep and then like a goat?
How hard is it to be a 15 year old girl (not me) who's never had sheep and do well your first year? What are the types of meat sheep you can show? Do you go find the lamb you want by yourself or do you go as a club to get one from one breeder together?
Also I'd love to see pics of your sheep projects!
