This page was created as a way to disburse information to those interested in keeping up to date on the various happenings of the Newaygo County Fair Sheep Committee. We will post pertinent information on upcoming clinics, deadlines and tips on showing.

Great to see everyone today! We are very excited to see how your projects mature over the coming months until fair! As it (hopefully) warms up soon, keep in mind that your projects will need to be sheared at least once before the shear for fair to keep them cool and allow you to better monitor how they are developing. If you would like assistance with either a rough shear or a show shear for fair or a jackpot show, please message Fawn Muraske or Mikayla Van Boven to get scheduled! ... See MoreSee Less

We had a great turn out today for weigh in! I am still gathering the total for how many ran through the scales. If you didn't make it today for the official makret weigh in, please reach out as soon as possible so that a committee member can come verify the lamb and information. The last day for someone to come out will be May 9th. If you do not reach out to have us verify scrapie tag on your market lamb you will not be able to show them at fair. Thank you and we hope to see everyone at the next two clinics! ... See MoreSee Less

This is exactly how we continue build the program, develop the showman and strengthen our community. We want to have the network capable of supporting the youth and achieve whatever level they desire are willing to work for. ... See MoreSee Less
