Chatham Kent 4-H Sheep Club

The focus for the 2025 Chatham Kent 4-H Sheep Club is commercial sheep production. We will be visiting a number of local sheep farms to get a close look at sheep production and marketing. Members will learn how to feed and care for for sheep and lambs. Members will also work on training and showing a project lamb throughout the summer. The Achievement program will be held at the Highgate Fair in late September.

Note: members do not have to have sheep of their own. A project lamb can be borrowed from friends. A limited number of lambs are available for “loan” from the leaders for interested members. These “loaned” lambs will stay at the leader’s farm. Members are expected to work with their project lamb on a regular basis i.e. at least weekly. Lambs grow very quickly, adequate training is important. Members accessing these “loaner” lambs may have to share a lamb with another member.
