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.
