Saturday an All About Lamb Lead and Fleece Clinic was held at the Sibley County Fair Grounds. A huge thank you to Lydia Rose, Julie Sievert and Amber Schmidt for teaching and assisting with this great event! Thank you to Sibley County Fair Board for letting us host this event there!

A 4-H member who participates in wool judging at SDSU taught other members about different wool fleeces and types. There were multiple fleeces there to view and touch. There were informational packets regarding lamb lead, lamb lead demonstration with lambs and discussion of the wool industry, and outfit description along with how to pick your outfit. Youth were able to walk sheep, practice ring etiquette and ask questions. This was youth and volunteer lead with 1 4-H youth providing education on fleeces, wool and the industry and 2 youth demonstrating Lamb Lead outfits and ring performance along with an adult volunteer providing Lamb Lead information.

The objective was to provide education to youth from multiple counties regarding the wool industry and provide other ideas of sheep related activities to participate in. In attendance were 13 Youth, and 7 Adults from 5 Counties including Sibley, Brown, Nicollet, McLeod and Watonwan. The Youth were very engaged and asked a number of questions. Youth were provided with a sheep halter and wool comb. Snack and refreshments were also provided
