The livestock shows continued at the Warren County Fair Thursday morning with the 4-H Sheep show. John Wood Community College livestock judging coach Justin Lewis gives a look into this year’s sheep show.
“On the sheep show, I’m a big proponent of some really good-looking sheep. I like them to be tall-shouldered and attractive from the side,” says Lewis. “Then yet still coming back to our market side, having some some wit and muscle and some expression is really important for me as well.”
Logan Corzatt, a recent graduate of Monmouth-Roseville, showed the Champion Market Lamb and the Champion Ewe during the 4-H show. He shares some of the feedback he received from the judge following the shows.
“He said I did a fantastic job in showmanship and that my sheep are presented well. I’ve done well feeding them and exercising them throughout the year.,” says Corzatt.
Having shown market animals, Corzatt shared what to look for in market sheep.
“The market sheep mainly the tones of muscle- so they’re not too fat, not too skinny. They have a good amount of muscle on him, and they get around the ring well and float pretty much with a good structure.”
