The third meeting of the South
Huron Sheep 4-H Club was held at
Don and Florence Pullen’s farm on
June 25 at 7:30 p.m.
The meeting began with a friendly
game of soccer. Then members
judged a group of four ewe lambs
that Don Pullen had set out for us.
Everyone had the opportunity to
place this class based on their
structure, stance, muscling, width of
rump and length of body and loin.
Members gave reasoning for
placing to leaders Florence Pullen or
Deb Falconer, then moved on to
judge a class of cut flowers. They
placed the flowers by size, number
of stems (this was a two-stem class),
no sign of disease, no petals in water
and that the groups of flowers were
the same size.
The meeting was officially opened
with the 4-H pledge, led by
president Brandon Coleman. Club
secretary, Amber Brodie read the
minutes of the last meeting. The
leader gave the treasurer’s report.
Members were given project
books of former members to look at
for ideas and tips on how a project
book should look.
They answered the roll call which
was to name one special instrument
the shepherd uses during lambing
season.
Then they discussed the next
meeting, which will be held on July
23 at Blyth park. This will be for a
pizza supper, then the members will
go to a sheep farm in Benmiller.
Everyone had a snack of juice and
cupcakes and the meeting was
closed.
