“We, as the more experienced breeders, need to make sure to try to be helpful when the youth come to us with questions.” -Kendra Williams

Hello District 4 members, I hope everyone is doing well! I miss you all! Tomorrow I will be showing for the first time in months and I am super excited. I know we all have things that happen in our lives that tend to take us away from what we love and that has been the case with me. But I’m back at it and so thrilled to get to go to a show and see my friends!

I’m also excited to see all the youth that have come to embrace the joys of raising Jersey Woolies! We have so many youth breeders right now in our breed and that is a great thing. We need the youth to continue what we have all worked so hard to achieve with this fantastic breed. To carry on our lines and improve upon them. With the enthusiasm I see in some of these youth JW breeders I know they will do just that! We, as the more experienced breeders, need to make sure to try to be helpful when the youth come to us with questions. I know that you all already help so much with the youth and I love to see it! Also ask the youth coming to you with questions and such whether they are members of the NJWRC. Let them know how to become members. Tell them about the scholarships available for youth breeders.

We need to encourage and help our youth. Otherwise, why are we even doing this? Until next time!

appreciated and each item rounded out the bags nicely. Great thanks to our well-respected judge, Adam Schuller, who gave great consideration and care to every animal and shared thoughtful and precise comments to exhibitors. Special thanks goes to CRCS who plowed the way to making this show happen. ARBA representatives present at the show expressed admiration and gratitude for what CRCS accomplished by overcoming the obstacles to putting on this show. All of ARBA was watching CRCS and PCWRC and taking notes.

Hosting an excellent Nationals show during a pandemic in a country where RHD is endemic is no small feat. The PCWRC brings a lot of valuable experience to the NJWRC! District 2 looks forward to sharing our experiences and support with other specialty clubs across the country in order to help ensure many successful and safe Nationals shows to come.
