Anne explained that the family started the kids' flock of 30 sheep with the South down breed because they are mild mannered and “known for their carcasses.” She said that the breed is an older breed and used to be the most popular breed in the area 25 years ago. Gerald said that this will be the last year of com petition for his champion ram. Robert, his dad, ex plained that the same ram which took the Grand Championship at Timomum also took Champion Ram honors at the Keystone Livestock Expo last fall. Robert said that the family started out with 2 ewe lambs about 4 years ago. This is the fourth year of 4-H work for Gerald, and Barbara’s second year. All thirty animals are owned by the children. The kids obviously enjoy their work with the animals, but point out that it is indeed work. Anne said the two youngsters spent two days washing the ten animal show string. Gerald, she said. <r’ v V - } <_ $2,350.00 $2,450.00 1,175.00 1,450 00 950.00 875.00 350.00 $26,500.00 $2,200.00 1,800.00 950.00 1.050.00 1.150.00 550.00 AUTHORIZED HCLLAi\C PARTS and SERVICE spent 4% hours grooming his champion ewe. Anne contributed the labor to make 5 more sheep blankets to help preserve the animals’ coats. How does a young man of 14 win top honors in his breed in open competition at the Maryland State Fair? Both parents agreed that a lot has to do with the instruction the children have received at the 4-H meetings. And they concede they’ve tried to purchase quality animals. Both also said that since this is the first year the Lan caster sheep club has been separate from the beef club, they feel the sheep club members are gathering more information. But Anne sums up the family’s feelings on the 4-H projects when she says “you get out of 4-H what you put into it.” It’s obvious from talking to this family that they put a lot of love and pride into work with their Rohrermg Oaks flock. kr%." ■ How All-Risk Federal Crop Insurance makes you a better risk with your lender.
