2022-2023 Market lamb

[Show Sebright]

So idk if y’all followed the “ sheep forget everything” thread, but Dutch is a lot better. Still won’t jump much but that takes time. Went on a 1/4 mile walk yesterday. Just got a bath. No we need to find a free generator for shows 🫣. Why dose the bower need so much energy!
Any suggestions for a good cheep leg dye for Dutch’s legs? They are and ugly sun bleached brown.

Washed Dutch. I got his ready as if it was a show. Later I’ll be going up there and prepping him like he’s about to walk in the show ring. His coat is too big lol

School started for me. I take Dutch on sunrise walks and feed him at 7. He had goats to hand with. He chose to be least dominant and I am proud he didn’t try mounting anyone. I broke my to so work outs have been light.

I shaved Dutch with a 30 blade for the first time. I’m waiting till the show to fit his legs.

Dutch’s first show was yesterday. He only won 2ed in his weight class if FL born lambs. He was against 2 other lambs. The judge didn’t even look at the one he picked in first place only mine and their other girls. Idk how this judging works tho. Here are some pictures.


Any tips on working the rear? We are going to try walking up steps.

Yes, I was very quickly noticed as the girl to had the lamb that followed her and has a boot on. I would drop how halter and everyone would go to grab it lol. I’m like just let it go he’s fine. I would walk the whole barn with him lose. People were amazed how my lamb like and trusted me. That he was trained. He was working very hard on the wait command. He wanted to sniff every lamb that walked by.

You and Dutch are quite the team!

I am so happy to say that I never got mad a Dutch. Every time he did something correct he would get a reward (in his case it is a head scratch). I was so proud of him and he did great. Now I just need to do better training him. Some people would get mad at their lambs if they did something wrong or stoped in yeh show ring. I would just take a breath and then try again. He gets no response for doing something wrong.
