Slinger 4-H family grateful to buyers, supporters | By Brianna, Josie, Erin, Elizabeth Ries

August 10, 2023 – Washington County, WI – Thank you to Lallemand Animal Nutrition for buying my market lamb and supporting the Washington County 4-H Sheep Program.

I am a proud member of the Slinger Hi-Lite Happy Workers 4-H club and had an amazing first year in the sheep project with my market lamb, Big Boy.  The sheep show was my favorite part of the fair and I can’t wait to do it again next year! Thank you again for bidding on and purchasing my market lamb.
