Cloverbuds explore Sheep and Beef.
After discussing some of the more popular and interesting sheep breeds, the cloverbuds took a guess about the breed of sheep at our meeting . The guess was Suffolk and the sheep are Suffolk x Hampshire . The kids had a great time taking turns at trying to βshowβ the sheep.
We also had the opportunity to interact with a beef x calf and get an understanding of how halter training can be difficult and that it takes dedication to train any 4-H animal. We talked about different breeds of beef cattle as well as some terminology.
A big thankyou to our sheep members for sharing your project with our cloverbuds and to the farm who lent us the calf for a few hours.
