Our leader, Jim Coombes introduced Grant and Arlene Glaspell to the 4-H group. Mr. and Mrs. Glaspell took the group on the tour of their barns. The Glaspell's had to adapt their barns for sheep because they had cattle before. They had a total of 300 sheep and hope to expand. In each barn they have at least 150 sheep. They have one barn that is penned into sections with 30 to 60 sheep in a pen. In the other barns, it is just one pen with breeding ewes and three rams. They have 74 rams at present present to be shipped to market. A system for catching lambs to dock their tails and give vaccines runs through what was used for the milkhouse. They also have the shearing done in the same room. They have an accelerated accelerated program of breeding using the Rideau breed. Josh Bowman gave thanks on behalf of the Sheep Club to the Glaspell's for letting us see their sheep farm operation. Refreshments were served.
