By Zach Drost Press Reporter On May 22, the second 4-H Sheep Club (South) meeting was held at the farm of Les and Deb Falconer, near Vanastra. The meeting started off with a game of flags, led by youth leader Nicole Moore. Then members, leaders and parents went to the barn where they were told by leaders to judge four different sheep in the barn. They had to give reasons why they placed this group of sheep the way they did. (They looked for a thick rump, muscling, straightness, and length of loin). President, Brandon Coleman opened the meeting. Secretary Amber Brodie read the minutes from the last meeting. The members went back to the house and handed in their health and safety forms and project animals identification forms. Everyone answered the roll call, “Why are you interested in sheep housing and equipment?” Members were also told about the lamb’s four stomachs, the rumen, reticulum, omasum and abomasum. They were told about a sheep’s digestive system. They discussed about how to care for our lambs at this time of the year. The next meeting will be Monday, June 25.
