Austin Dean was “Star of the Week” for his Pre-K class, so he got to bring something to show and tell each day. Of course he wanted to show off his sheep (and pony, too), and the school readily agreed on one request, they wanted the whole school (not just his class) to be allowed to participate. We obliged and took “Buzz” who is the friendliest white ram ever, and “Sally” his NC ewe who he proudly leads around himself at 4 years old. He also took a couple of their purple ribbons which he declared, “Are almost as tall as me!” It was a great experience and you could tell for so many of the children, this was their first close encounter with farm animals. There were lots of “Can we ride the big one” and “They are so soft.” We are so fortunate to have such a kid-friendly breed!

This summer was a busy one. I attended multiple youth shows, some as close as my back yard and others as far as 700 miles. Each offered something for everyone, some bigger than others but all a great learning experience whether you were an exhibitor, a breed representative, a parent, or just maybe had an interest in seeing how different shows were run. Whatever the reason, make the most of it, experience all that you can, and then make a conscious effort to share the positive points with other folks who share these interests. By traveling outside of your comfort circle, it offers you the opportunity to expand that circle, whether it is with new ideas, new friends or new enthusiasm. I usually come back physically tired but mentally stimulated. I will share briefly the shows that I visited.
