RE: [blackbelly] 4-H Question

[Susan Smith]

Hi James, the commercial ewe lamb class: I'm not sure what that class is 
unless it is like the market class. It isn't in our 4-H program.  Market 
lamb is where the kids arn't going to make any money because BB are so small 
at the age they are shown at.  Showmanship is where the child is judged on 
what he knows about the sheep he is showing...this is a good one for the 
BB.......then showing breed/breeding sheep show might be a real good place 
for us to get the BB started, but the child has to show more then one sheep 
of the same breed.  Gee James, if you have a chance come to the annual 
meeting in Cobdin where I can tell you a lot more about 4-H and showing 
sheep.    :-)  Sue

Sue Smith and the List,
Below is the web page for the Virginia State Fair dealing with youth/4-H.  
I
have never shown sheep or goats.  Would someone tell me by looking at this
website if any Barbado or Barbados Blackbelly sheep would be able to 
compete
in any of these areas?

I would think the market lamb and commercial ewes would not be feasible due
to the size of our breed and of course the wool category.

My next question is how to get hair sheep more involved in the county and
state fairs?
Thanks!
