Athens County 4H Sheep Clubs Grow Involvement And Contests
The Athens County 4H sheep program expands as clubs recruit members, with youths like Charles Grubb of Glouster Route 2 and the Linscott family promoting lamb projects. Programs started in the 1940s and 1950s, with backyard flocks evolving into 12 to 29 head herds including registered Shropshires, and a county fair class for junior showmanship begun in 1953. Enrollments rose from one in 1949 to sixteen in 1955 as showmanship and fitting skills become key, and awards are planned to recognize achievement and individuality in the animals.
