the sheep off feed or to cause them to scour. As much of this 

 feed as possible should be taken from home. Providing pure, 

 fresh water at all times is essential. 



To show successfully, careful attention must be paid to all the 

 details which have been discussed in this bulletin so as to insure 

 having the sheep in the right form and condition. Experience in 

 show fitting, including selection, feeding, transportation, and 

 presenting sheep before the judge in the show ring, is necessary 

 in order to win high honors at shows where there is strong com- 

 petition. 



HELPFUL HINTS FOR FITTING AND SHOWING 



Choose show sheep from a well bred flock. 



Select only sheep of proper type and conformation. 



Be sure that all necessary feed and equipment are provided. 



Make all preparations for feeding in ample time and commence 

 fitting early. 



Keep sheep gaining gradually and never crowd them at any 

 time. 



Study their condition and progress daily. 



Do not attempt to fit sheep unless you love them, take pride in 

 them, and have great ambition to make a success as a showman. 



Give the utmost care to sheep at the show and never neglect 

 them in any way, if you hope to win any prizes.
