NEWS FROM BRUSSELS Read Rhea Hamilton Seeger’s Gardening column on the Huron Home and Garden Guide section of our website www.northhuron.on.ca By Zach Drost On Aug. 20 4-H members from the North and South Huron sheep clubs came together to compete in the 2011 Bayfield Fair. Competitors arrived between 9 and 10 a.m. Members lined up with their 4-H project lambs and waited their turn to get their lambs shorn. Josh Bruton was the shearer of the day. Members had a first-hand look at the condition of their lambs after shearing for the competition which started at 1 p.m. The judge was Elmira’s Anita DeJong. The show started with ewe lamb and market lamb classes. In the junior breeding ewe lamb class there were five lambs; this class was won by Alita Swart. In the senior breeding ewe lamb class there were seven lambs; this was won by Matt Swart who also had the Grand Champion breeding ewe. Reserve champion was won by Allison Terpstra who had earlier placed second in the senior breeding ewe class. Next there were confirmation classes for the 4-H lambs. The first class was a class of 10 heavy market lambs; this class was won by Dawson Coultes. There were 12 light market lambs and this class was won by Laurina VanDorp. Market lamb grand champion was won by Laurina VanDorp with reserve champion going to Dawson Coultes. After these classes were judged, the showmanship portion of the competition began. The judge was looking for how quickly members set up their lamb’s feet, fluffing of the wool as well as judging your lamb against the lamb ahead of you. Members should always keep their lambs in a straight lineup and always give view of the lamb for the judge. Senior showmanship was won by Kayla Bishop; Intermediate showmanship, Dallas Coultes; junior showmanship, Allison Terpstra; novice showmanship, Tiffany Dietner and PeeWee showmanship, Alex Coultes. All the first- and second-place winners met in the ring for a final class and the overall champion was by Kayla Bishop while reserve champion was won by Kabrina Bishop. All members were awarded some prize money, thanks to the generosity of the United Communities Credit Union and the Bayfield Fair. The South Huron Club met again on Monday, Sept. 5 at 7 p.m. at leader, Deb Falconer’s home. Members wrote the Sheep and Huron County 4-H quiz at that time.
