They came to look at an ewe and
her three lambs, but the trip to the
Steven and Donna Jack farm
wasn’t a day off for members of
the Saanich 4-H Lamb Club.

~ This is more than just looking,
this is learning, too,” volunteer
leader Ann Scott-Polson wamed
her young charges Feb. 24 — as
she passed out the tests.

About 15 4-Hers had to write
down various bits of information
about the Dorset sheep at the Jack
farm, just off Island View Road.
Are the Dorsets raised mainly for
meat, or wool? How much does a
tam weigh? How about an ewe?
The ewe with triplets has a
difficult job, members heard. Not
only are her young smaller than
normal, they tax “her equipment,”
Scott-Polson said.

Ewes have just two teats, “so
she’s pretty busy,’ Scott-Polson
said.

But the mom is an “excellent
ewe,” the leader said. Many ewes
will reject one of the lambs.

The Dorset, a short, fine-wooled
animal, is raised mainly for meat,
the 4-Hers learned. And the gesta-
uion period for lambs is about 150
days.

Farm visit puts 4-Hers to work *

The stop at the farm was part of
a busy month, which began with
club-level public speaking compe-
tiuon. Three members — Karla
Hitchcock, Ian Scott-Polson and
Alison Fitch — move on to district
compcution.

Members and parents also cut
wood al one-farm to raise money
for club activitics. And a new
executive was elected. :

Not only the youths were busy.
Two leaders, Donna Jack and Ann

Scott-Polson, went to Seattic |
where they attended the annual |
Western Regional 4-H Volunteer
Leader Forum, Feb. 15 to 18. They
were two of three British Columbi-
ans who took part in the confer-
ence, designed to build Ieadership
skills,
