Little Shepherds Showmanship Contest

Attention all future sheep herders!

Are you ready for some fun on the farm and to learn valuable skills at the Dodge County Fair? The Little Shepherds Showmanship Contest is the perfect opportunity for you!

This contest is open to kids ages 4 through grade 4 who want to try their hand at showing sheep. Don’t worry if you don’t have your own sheep—friendly sheep provided by our Sheep Project members will be available for you to work with!

Contestants will be judged on their showmanship skills, focusing on how to properly handle and present a sheep. It’s a fantastic way to make new friends and spark a passion for raising sheep!

Registration is required. You can pick up a registration form at the Dodge County Fair Office or in the Open Class Fair book. Don’t miss out on this amazing opportunity!
