🐑🐄 The countdown to Kent Show is on – just 18 days to go! 🐄🐑

Our members have been hard at work this week preparing for the big event, spending time training their sheep, dairy cattle, and beef cattle ready for the show ring.
We've also been getting creative, making a start on our pallet club display and painting pallets, as well as handing in the fantastic animal record books that everyone has worked so hard on throughout the year.
The excitement is building, and we can't wait to showcase all the hard work, dedication, and achievements of our members at Kent Show!

Some of our members visited The South of England Show yesterday!

An amazing well done to all the members who attended, we had some members showing in young handlers and a member showing her own sheep at the show.

A huge thank you for the leaders Nick and Jess for letting our members take their coloured Rylands in sheep young handlers and to Emma and James from Harry Hawkins & Partners who let one of our members show their homebred Simmental heifer, Chates Sovereign Empress.

Once showing was done our members had fun on the showground ground with waltzers and bumper cars and watching the other exhibitors. They even got to take a picture with Trev from the sheep show!

The day ended with some of our members volunteering to carry parade boards in the grand parade.

✨ What a fantastic day at the Heathfield Show! 🤩🐑

A huge well done to all of our members, who did an amazing job showing our leaders Jess and Nick’s sheep in both Young Handlers and Wool on the Hoof classes. Their hard work, dedication and excellent stockmanship really shone through today! 👏

We’re incredibly proud to celebrate some great results, bringing home 3rd place in Wool on the Hoof 🏅🎉

We'd also like to say an enormous thank you to Niccola Botwright from Aygo Texels for allowing one of our members, Mia, to show a pedigree Texel ram lamb in Young Handlers! The pair went on to place 3rd in a huge and very tough class! 🥳🥉

We've had a fantastic day on the farm for our first New Members' Day! 🤩🐑

We were delighted to welcome 14 interested young people and their families down to the farm to meet our members and animals and learn what SWAN YFC is all about!

Both first-time visitors and existing members got the chance to watch our sheep being shorn ready for the summer as well as joining in with a farm scavenger hunt and some icebreaker games!

We'd like to say an ENORMOUS thank you to Finn Selby-Green for shearing our sheep for us and to all those who attended the day.

If you missed it today but are keen to come along and get involved, drop us a message or email [email protected] for more information on our next New Members' Day!

On Sunday, our members were busy with various activities. They began by trimming the ewes' feet and training the lambs with halters in preparation for the Kent County Show. There were also plenty of lamb cuddles to go around.
After this , some members started working on their animal books with guidance from Katie, getting ready for the Kent show.
