his older sheep he said. The
ewe lambs ar.e pampered a
little more and get the
alfalfa hay.
A separate lambing pen is
one of the features in Daryl’s
bam. Boards block the
drafts and good dry bedding
is abundant. The flock is
raised basically in con
finement, getting their
exercise in a small lot behind
the bam.
The FFA shepherd finds
therer-are a few problems
with the—confinement
situation. With the sheep
being able to run in a small
pasture, parasites are a
bigger problem. He worms
his lambs at 30 pounds and
the ewes about every month.

“Another problem with the
confinement is that 1 have to
supplement the pasture with
hay. That lowers their ef
ficiency because I’m using a
lot more expensive feed than
I should be using.”
“I may expand my flock
this year and experiment
with it” he said.
“I’ll probably have to sell
most of my grade flock while
I’m in college”. Daryl plans
on studying agricultural
education at Penn State.
Besides sheep raising,
Daryl has worked on the
Newton Evan’s Farm,
Chester Springs for his work
experience project. There he
gained experience with
