UCONN Cooperative Extension 4-H Sheep Program

2/20/10

This annual program is for all youth interested in raising or showing sheep.  This year junior participants (7-12 years old) will use an Enviroscape to learn about waste management, how to vaccinate sheep and what vaccinations they need, and how to judge sheep and score their sheep’s body condition.  Senior participants (13-19) will have a judging workshop, learn about feed requirements, and analysis of feed and hay and a workshop on cooking lamb and its nutritional value.  Seniors should also bring a  sandwich or quart size baggie of their sheep’s wool as they will have a wool grading workshop in the afternoon.  There will be a Quiz Bowl Competition and Skillathon for all ages.
