paraded their sheep in front of the judges early in the day and in front of the buyers following a BBQ hosted by Webb’s. Both the Mannville and Vermilion Clubs began their individual shows by swearing their 4-H pledges before showing their sheep in their different classes and age groups. Judges for the Mannville show and part of the Vermilion show were Hayo and Marianne Heeroma, who are sheep owners. Both of their children were also heavily involved in 4-H while
growing up. The Heeroma’s had a difficult time judging due to the quality sheep that were presented to them in each class. “You can be really proud of yourselves,” said Hayo Heeroma to the club members. Ross and Teresa Jackson took over for the Heeroma’s during the Vermilion show and made some difficult decisions themselves in the Homegrown Market Lamb Class, Grooming, Showmanship, Best Average Daily Grain and Judging classes.
