| Impact Report | On June 27th, 2009 over forty 4-H members and parents attended a showmanship clinic for meat goats, market swine and market lambs. One former 4-H member led the workshop on swine showmanship. 4-H members were able to learn how to showcase their pig better in the showring, tips on how to practice with their swine projects at home and ask questions about clipping and nutrition. A 4-H member led the market lamb showmanship clinic and gained vital skills in learning to prepare a speech and illustrate the speech to her fellow 4-H members. These 4-H members learned how to teach their lamb to brace against them, what parts of the lamb the judge is looking to feel firm and fresh as well as ask questions about how to finish a lamb and shear a lamb. A 4-H member led the market goat showmanship section and gained important public speaking skills by listening to 4-H members questions and illustrating important showmanship skills to the 4-H members. As one 4-H member stated, "I learned some great tips to show my lambs this year. I am glad to hear other 4-H members have questions and that it will get better the longer I practice and work with my lambs." |
