[Jacob-list] First time to a Jacob Show

[Gotothewhip at aol.com]

Hubby and I are headed to our first Jacob Show this weekend.. Any tidbits  of 
advice.. I showed breeding sheep (Cheviots) for a lot of year.. And Market  
lambs as a kid.. 
 
Sure am looking forward to no more bathing of the sheep!!!!!
 
OK....Anything I need to do.. I have trimmed hooves.. everyone is halter  
broke (Of course with the young lambs that changes daily.. sometimes they re  
really broke.. sometimes they are march hares! 
 
I am taking a November Ewe in her full fleece... I planned on carding her  
out and trimming her .. Do I trim her round like a cottonball?
 
I have a May ewe.. she is still in her lamb fleece... The tips are  
sunbleached brown.... Do I want to take my electric shears and take off the  bleached 
tips?  I have an April Ram in the same condtion????
 
My lambs are  pretty clean.. but they ocassionally throw themselves  down.. 
so any clean up tips????
