Online sheep show - entries close 22nd April
« on: March 24, 2012, 08:02:03 am »
Entries are now open for the TAS Online Sheep Show. :sheep: :sheep: :sheep:

We've got three classes, and hope our sheep-keeping members will all have a go and enter at least one class.

The prize class is for the cutest lamb. We've got a copy of How to Grow Your Own Fruit and Veg by Joe Hashman for the winner.

If you've got any questions at all about how the shows work please post them here, PM me or read the online show guide.

Good luck!  :sheep: :sheep: :sheep:

Mmmm. Shetlands not very woolly, horns not very big, my one little black lamb is obviously the cutest thing in the world, but even as besotted as I am I can see he's not in the same league as a Grey-faced Dartmoor lamb....

I have had similar thoughts.  So, those of us with less natural cuteness have to make up for it in our actions and settings, eh? 

Maybe we should ask Dan to have an open prize and another prize for any non-GFD lamb!

Entries close at midnight tonight, so it's last chance saloon time!

Voting starts automagically after midnight, so you night owls can pick your winners later.  :)

We'll have another sheep show later in the year, maybe a worst haircut class at shearing time.  :D
