Fair Prep and the Week's Schedule
Sheep Shearing- begins the week before the fair & is usually $2.00 per lamb. We suggest putting off afternoon feeding until after shearing. Shearing of lambs puts extra stress on lambs with a full belly, which could cause prolapse.
Set up & Clean Gates- Members only come the Sunday before the fair to the fair grounds lamb tent. Please bring what you have available of the following items: scrapper, scrub brush, rag or sponge, hose, soap bucket, paint brush, bale twine, post hole digger, electrical tools.
Bring in Lambs, ____ Time to be announced. Your lambs must be clean before bringing them in Monday evening.  It is suggested you wash them either Sunday evening or Monday after set up. You will want to bring in straw, and grain and whatever supplies are needed for the week at this time.
