How long have you been showing sheep?
I have been showing sheep since I was eight, so six years.
What was your favorite thing about this lamb?
My favorite thing about Kitty (Grand) is her diva personality and her overall unique ring presence. Personally, I love everything about Poppi (Reserve), she’s the sweetest lamb, and she has been such a big contributor to my personal showmanship growth.
