New Hampshire Sheep and Wool Growers Youth Sheep Clinic

New Hampshire Sheep and Wool Growers Sponsored 4-H Sheep Clinic

July 9-11, 2010

at the 4-H Youth Center in New Boston, NH

Programs and activities at the 4-H Youth Sheep Clinic revolve around the 4-H'ers and their sheep.

Counselors, staff, and volunteer guest speakers instruct the 4-H'ers on fitting and showing as

well as general management and care of sheep. The 4-H Sheep Clinic is designed for 4-H'ers

(ages 8-18 as of January 1st) with sheep projects to learn the skills needed to get a head start

or refresher before the summer fairs and sheep shows begin. 4-H'ers who attend the clinic

learn animal husbandry skills and how to fit and show their

sheep while meeting new people, visiting old friends and

having a good time.

All clinic counselors and staff are volunteers with

knowledge in the raising and showing of sheep. Counselors

are experienced current or former 4-H'ers in the sheep

program. Adult staff members are 4-H leaders, parents

and volunteers. The ratio of clinic attendees to staff is

kept low to allow for close supervision for instruction
