Sheep<\/h1>\n

by Joshua Heston<\/h2>\n

Sheep have been domesticated since antiquity. A powerful symbolism surrounds these animals in a variety of cultures, most notably Judaic Hebrew culture in the Middle East \u2014 and consequently sheep figure predominately in the the Christian imagery of Western civilization.<\/p>\n

My grandparents raised sheep (along with cattle, chickens and such) and appreciated an animal which produced two paychecks \u2014 the selling of wool and the selling of lambs.<\/p>\n

Flock animals, my mom remembers, \u201cIf you could get one through the gate, all the rest would follow right then.\u201d Not as hardy or independent as goats, sheep often fall prey to predators or disease.<\/p>\n

plate 3. Beth Walker, PhD, of Springfield, speaks with nine-year-old Hannah Summers of Hollister about her Shetland named \u201cCassidy.\u201d
Walker, originally of South Texas, received her doctorate in animal science from Mizzou. She and her husband farm and recently launched a new business \u2014 Ozarks Natural Foods \u2014 to promote sustainability in local agriculture.
When judging, what does Walker look for? \u201cIt depends on the size of the show,\u201d she says. \u201cI look for things like structural correctness, muscle, depth of side, amount of bone, and style.
\u201cFor a show like this, it is important each kid gets rewarded for their efforts.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n

Daniel & the Ram<\/h3>\n

Then I lifted up mine eyes, and saw,<\/em><\/p>\n

And, behold, there stood before the river a ram which had two horns:<\/em><\/p>\n

And the two horns were high;<\/em><\/p>\n

But one was higher than the other,<\/em><\/p>\n

And the higher came up last.<\/em><\/p>\n

4H Taney County Animal Show, 2013<\/h1>\n

Thanks to the hard work of folks like Cassandra Nebena, Ken and Kimberly Dixon, a handful of supremely qualified judges and a growing number of dedicated kids, the 4H program in Taney County is making a comeback. Despite the tourism in our area, agriculture still plays an important part of our economy and culture.<\/p>\n

It is a valuable place for these kids to share, to learn, and to be recognized for their efforts. Raising animals is hard work, requiring everyday responsibility, dedication and education. It is work which teaches us a great deal of science, compassion, common sense and a sense of reality far removed from most \u201creality\u201d TV shows.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
