How to show a sheep
Sheep, like goats are considered a posing animal. To show a goat,
you need a halter, and you need a goat. To first prepare your animal
for show, you need to make sure it is washed and it is brushed. Since
it is a large animal, it has two shows, the quality and the showmanship.
In the quality show, you will be competing against people who's animal's
weight is around your animal's weight. You will present all sides of your
animal to the judge, and your competitors will be too, so you will need to
battle it out. For showmanship, you will be competing against people your
age doing the same thing that you did in quality. Finally, in the later
hours of Saturday, you will show your animal in the same way you did
in your other shows. On Sunday morning, do not feed your animal.
It is going to be butchered or be used for breeding, but during
your fair journey, make sure the animal gets fed every day, it's
pen is cleaned out every day, and it is checked on and brushed
every day.
