Sheep/Lamb Showing

[Egg-Cellent Flock]

Hello everyone!

So recently I have been looking into showing sheep/lambs, and I have done some research, but I still have a couple of questions.

What facilities do I need for a sheep? (I can’t afford to spend a fortune on them )

How do I exercise them? I have heard of people using a track and a dog, but I don’t have a track or a dog who would do that.

How much would a show sheep cost and where would be a good place to get one?

What sort of feed should I get and how much should I feed it? I have heard of all of these technical feeding plans, and I’m a little confused by some of them. So any simple terms would be great!!

Thank you!!

I'm assuming you mean for 4H

Depends how badly you want to win. You could probably buy a wether for 75-125 and raise it amd just do your best a the show,
or you could spend 300+ on a good bloodline lamb and have a higher, bust still not guaranteed chance of winning.

We would take them on a walk for a few miles a day and have them jump over hay bales.

They need predator proof fencing and a shelter. At least a lean-to
