Hurray!
We had another enjoyable time at the Big E in West Springfield, Massachusetts. This year we took ten sheep and had a lot of success!
- In the ram show we had the second yearling ram and the second senior ram lamb.
- Our pair of ram lambs were second.
- The first place junior ram lamb, which was also the reserve champion, was out of a ZNK ram Barbara Thompson had purchased from us.
- We won first and second in the yearling ewe class and second and third in the senior ewe lamb class.
- The yearlings won the pair of yearling ewes and the lambs were second in the pair of lambs class.
- We had champion and reserve champion ewes.
- We won Breeder and Exhibitor Flocks, Get of Sire, Best Fleece, and Best Headed female.
- To top it all off, we won Premier Breeder and Exhibitor.
- In the final all-breeds fleece competition, we were pulled out in the top four.
Of course, the Big E is not all work and showing sheep. We had a great time reconnecting with other sheep breeders from all over. We especially enjoyed hanging out with Lydia and Hannah Smith from Vermont.
