Recognize guilt for what it is. Children know your weak spot and aren't afraid to use it. The conference is for 4-H members with a minimum of three years' experience in showing sheep. Highlights of the conference will be a shepherds' contest, lamb bowl and project-exhibit competition. The shepherds' contest tests the members' knowledge of sheep and skill in selecting, grooming and showing sheep.
Members show a lamb then receive tips on proper showmanship techniques.
In the lamb bowl contestants answer questions in an quiz patterned after the TV College Bowl show. While one team member grooms the lamb, the other team member explains the methods and procedures being used. Competition will be scored not only on how well they groom and show the lambs but also on how well they teach the procedures. The annual meeting of the Tennessee Junior Sheep Producers Association will take place on Saturday afternoon. New officers will be selected.
