North Huron 4-H sheep club
holds organizational meeting
By Keshia Bishop
On April 30 the North Huron 4-H
Sheep Club held its organizational
meeting.
Leaders, Marg Cunningham
and Bethany Jensen handed out
books and got information needed in
order to take the club, while youth
leader. Rebecca Bruton explained to
all new members how 4-H works.
Executive positions are as follows:
Rebecca Bruton, president, Margaret
Vincent, vice-president, Lindsay
Watson, secretary, and Keshia
Bishop, press reporter.
On May 7 members discussed
several different types of breeds of
sheep including Southdown.
Coriedale and Suffolk.
On June 3 the meeting was at
Shayrina Sheep Farm. A
demonstration was put on by
the staff. A running commentary
was given about each breed of
sheep.
- Next, members judged apples and
market lambs.
They discussed diseases that sheep
can get, and how to prevent them.
Hypothermia, constipation and
pinning are only a few of the
diseases discussed.
On July 3 a vet talked to them
about different diseases that sheep
get, and what kind of medication to
give them. He talked about where
the best places are to needle a sheep,
different types of medication and
gave a demonstration on how to trim
the sheep's toenails.
Afterwards, members got into
groups of three and had a contest,
chasing sheep through a runway and
sorting them into two different
groups. It was interesting watching
other 4-Hers run around the pen
chasing sheep.
They then got a chance to try
trimming a sheep's hooves.
