Club meets
By Robert Henderson
The fifth meeting for the South
Huron 4-H Sheep Club was held on
July 25 at Florence Pullen’s house.
The meeting started off with an
excellent game of Around the World
about sheep. This is a game where
the president or one of the leaders
asks two of the members in the
group a question about sheep.
Whoever gets the right answer first,
goes against a different member of
the group.
The game is ended when everyone
has been asked a question twice.
After the game, the members start
ed preparing themselves for the
Seaforth judging competition (held
Aug. 9) by discussing how to judge
various things such as, frozen
smoked pork chops, market beef,
light horses and dairy cows.
They went down to the bam and
judged Suffolk breeding ewe lambs.
