A good showman is prepared for the proper presentation of an animal.
Showmanship is the one area of livestock showing where the exhibitor has control.
In showmanship, you are judged on your ability to control and present the lamb at its best. Advanced planning, practice, and hard work are keys to becoming a good showman. These life skills include responsibility, learning about work and determination to reach a goal, succeeding graciously, and accepting setbacks with dignity. Winning takes practice at home and can become a reality by working with the lamb and having someone handle the lamb as a judge will at the show. Appropriate Dress Always practice good personal hygiene and dress neatly.
