Garden State Sheep Breeders Show

In 2009 we only traveled to one show - The Garden State Sheep Breeders Wool and Fiber Festival. We had sold most of our lambs before the fall shows, and so we ended up showing three ram lambs. Jonathan (white) was 5th in the classic ram lamb class, Simon of Cyrene (my black breeding ram for this year) was 4th, and Caleb (white) was second. Caleb was Reserve Champion in that class and when we paired him with Simon they took second in Classic Pair.
 
While we also showed our sheep at the Rhinebeck Show, that is a Breeds Barn situation and is not competitive - except for the display, and there we took 2nd place, which was a great honor and financially rewarding as well!    
 
In May of 2010 we trekked to Waynesburg, Pa for another Breeds Barn show and although there they do not give awards for the displays, we won a blue ribbon for coming the farthest and were gifted with a wonderful folding chair! We plan to go back in 2011 - it was great fun.
 

 

 
                           

New York Wool and Sheep Fair - Rhinebeck, NY
In October 2008 we were privileged to exhibit our sheep in the Breeds Barn. We took Charlotte and Darra, and set up an information booth next to them. People showed a lot of interest in our two yearlings, one white and one black, and Charlotte proved to be the prima donna, posing for photo after photo, while Darra , bored with her second show at Rhinebeck, took a nap.

ATTENTION: We will again be at the Garden State Sheep Breeders Show in Hunterdon County, NJ on September 11 & 12, 2010. We will also travel to Rhinebeck, NY in October with 2 adorable ram lambs and a new display - aiming to beat our 2nd place win of 2009! After the show Boaz will come home to Pennsylvania for his first breeding season, and his half-brother will head for Maine to a flock of "our" ewes for his first breeding season.
