well as some of u know i got a lamb for the Volusia county fair. my sister also each got a lamb. these lamb are market projects that we sell at the fair and earn a lot of money w/. well the money made from my lamb was suppossed to pay for my ticket to Denver Co. next Jan for the National 4-H western Roundup where i would compete at the National Livestock Judging contest.

well the stupid stupid sheep! As u all know it stormed really bad yesterday and me and my mom left about 4ish to go get a market hog to also go towards my ticket. well i get home around 7pm and it's still drizzeling out. and i put my hog in the pen and get him settled in. and then i look over to the sheep pen which is right next to the hog pen. and i see only 2 of the 3 sheep. Mine sheep is missing. so i go around in search of my sheep and where do i find him? In the goat pen but he's sitting in the rain, is freezing cold and wouldn't get up. And then my sister goes "oh yeah we noticed that he was out there." I'm like hello r u trying to kill my sheep?! Some i bring him out of the rain and dry him off and put him in a cage under the cover near the shed.

Well this morning i find that my sheep 'Denver Ticket'(sometimes jokingly called Ralph) did not make it through the night. I guess it's a good thing that I got a hog too.
