It wasn’t just enough to do the cooking, but Blyth Lion Ryan
Lee was also on seasoning duty, applying barbecue sauce
to these steaks. Lee was the man of the hour working the
grill at Saturday’s Lions first annual Seed Sowers Social
and Steak Barbecue. The event served to remind residents
that the Lions look to their home area first and foremost
when it comes to fundraising as the money raised from the
event went towards improvements to the Lions Park and
community betterment. (Jim Brown photo)

Members of the South Huron
Sheep Club arrived at Pullens farm
on May 27 at 7 p.m. for its second
meeting. The meeting was opened
by Fraser Falconer since the presi-
dent was absent. A new member was
introduced to the club. Secretary
Amber Brodie read the minutes of
the last meeting. Leader, Florence
Pullen read the treasurer’s report and
handed members their books and
some sheets; she gave a description
of how to properly follow the code
of conduct procedure.
At the barn, leaders Deb Falconer
and Florence Pullen talked about
tattooing lambs. Don Pullen gave a
demonstration on how to tattoo a
lamb and why it is done (specifically
to brand and identify the animal).
There were a set of four suffolk
lambs for members to judge. The
lambs were judged on their physical
appearance (loin, length, thick leg of
lamb, stands correctly on its legs,
etc.). The members later gave
reasons for their placements. To end
the meeting the club discussed the
upcoming fairs and judging
competition.
The next meeting will be held
June 13 at Anne Marie
MacGregor’s on Morrison Line at
7:30 p.m.
A snack was shared by the
members before the meeting was
closed with the 4-H motto “Learn to
Do by Doing”.
