PWH at the Vermillion Fair

This past Wednesday Prairie Winds Hampshires travelled to the Vermillion Fair for their sheep show. We arrived late Wednesday night to the fair grounds and got the animals settled in the sheep barn. 
Thursday afternoon the show started with the Trimming and Lamb Judging components of the Junior Show. I participated and won 1st in the Senior division of both Trimming and Judging. The Open Show was later in the afternoon and we placed at the top of both the ewe and ewe lamb classes. 
The Junior Show's conformation classes were Friday afternoon and I did very well with my animals. All the ewes I brought to show were part of my purebred flock and I was proud to showcase the Hampshire breed.

I had an awesome time in Vermillion and will definitely be back next year to show again and enjoy the fair. Thank-you to everyone involved with the Fair and the Sheep Show for your hospitality and putting on a great event!
