Not-so-Little Lambs

Our luck continues to hold.  Of course the year we decide to be "all in" for raising lambs for the Grandview fair would be the year of the COVID pandemic and shut down of all fairs in our state.  But seeing as we already owned the lambs that the girls picked out, we fed them and watched them grow in our pasture.  Our 4-H leader happens to be a personal friend, and their family decided to have a 3 family version of a livestock show so at least our kids could practice their show skills.  Or lack thereof, in our case.  But before the show, we had to tame the sheep in a week's time.  We hadn't done any taming prior to this, due to a lack of motivation from having no show in which to show off.  Ryan's solution was: capture each animal, drag it on the sheep stand, and wash the poor things with cold hose water and Dawn dish soap.

 Ryan had the chance to show off all of his sheep skills he developed from raising his own herd way back in his high school days and further used as a teacher of agriculture.  Evidently, those skills are just like riding a bike- once learned they don't leave you.
