The Clark County Fair is almost here!

I will be selling Snowball, my white lamb, at the Clark County Fair this year! All of the money I raise from selling my land goes into my college fund! (I also work very hard to get straight A's and have never gotten a B!) If you want to bid on Snowball, please email me at shelbievelyn200@yahoo.com or even if you want to do an "add-on" which is like just adding on money to whatever I sell him for - that would be wonderful too!

A week with me and my lambs...

This is a picture of me petting snowball, he sure enjoys food now that he is slowly getting off of his diet! (Hooray! No one likes being on a diet!)

This is a ordinary picture of snowball. He just finished eating, or he looks tired and he wants more. The line on his nose is from his haulter. He doesn't need THAT anymore!

This is me bracing my lamb. My dad is pretending to be the judge to get me ready for the fair. It is only TWO weeks untill the fair! I'm getting nervous.

This is me after setting my lamb up. There are three parts of bracing; #1: Feet stretched. #2: Head in a 90 degree angle. And last is #3: Head looking straight.

This is me walking my lamb, Snowball, around his corral. We do this after he is worked out so he will cooperate with me. If Snowball puts his head down, grab it and pull it back up, or else the lamb will run off to eat weeds.




This is me walking my lamb around my grandpa's trailer. I've got to make sure I take control, or I'll be chasing Snowball all around the desert.

And last, but not least is a picture of my three year old brother wearing his "Iron Man" mask. He usually tries to ride snowball, but doesn't do it anymore. Watch out for Iron Man, Snowball! P.S. Bryson is the one who gave my lamb his name, "SnowBall."

Yes sir, yes sir...three bags full!

WOW! Hey followers, do I have a special treat for you! Mr. Henrie sheared my lambs and boy do they look good. (Sorry it has taken so long for my Mom to upload these photos)My baby brother kept saying that it looked like the lambs were melting when they were getting sheared. It does kind of look like that. We put little coats on them to keep them warm because they aren't used to not having warm wool on their bodies.

Hey followers!

Hey followers! It's your fellow friend, Shelbi, 4-H Lamb Girl! I just got back from 4-H, and my leader, Cindy Shakespere, told me I did terrific! If you want to know about it, look up 4-H lambs on you tube. It is really getting easier, we put Snowball, also known as the white lamb, on a diet. (He was getting pretty chunky on all that lamb flex!)
Mr. Henrie (The man we bought our lamb from) thinks that Snowball is a very nice lamb.
My friend Jalayne and I, walk my white-lamb down by our pond so it will exercize, also, my dad is recharging the battery to the 4-wheeler so we can attach my lamb to it, and it will REALLY get a good exersice on it.
I am getting nervous since the fair comes in one month, it seems like yesterday I was at the auction, buying my sweet little lambs. Snowball weighs exactly 125 pds. on March 1st, 2010. I am going to have to do good to beat my cousin in showing lambs! This is my cousin, Brook Higbee's, 3rd year in showing a lamb:) (There is a picture of me standing by Brook at the preshow)
