feeding for 4h show?

[aggieterpkatie]

Well it finally got hot up here.
The lambs go to be slicked sheared on Monday.

They have slowed down on their eating and I am concerned that they will not make weight now. They are no longer cleaning up their pellets or grains.
Got their second overeating shot last week.

DD is walking them twice the distance in the morning to avoid the afternoon heat because the last time they were panting after the afternoon walk, so we changed that to make them more comfortable.

Plan to weight them again on Monday to see where we are as for the weight. Heard the scale might not be 100% correct, but hope it is close to being accurate.

Can you put a fan on them to keep them cool? I'd love to see pictures!
