ANDERSON MARCH, Calif. – Hi my name is Erin Evans. I live in Lower Lake. I am 9 years old.

I have been in the Anderson Marsh 4-H Club for three years now, and this is my first year in the sheep project. I am taking two market lambs, two breeding sheep, four pictures and one baked thing, probably cookies.

The projects I take are sheep, goats, dog care, cooking, graphic design, arts and crafts, and horse.

I am the fourth generation in my family to show at the Lake County Fair. Going to the fair is one of my favorite things to do, especially if I can show my animals.

My two market lambs are Davis and Denis and my breeding sheep are Aggie and Rosie. I got Aggie and Davis from UC Davis. Denis and Rosie I raised from birth.

What I like about sheep is how cute they are when they are baby lambs. Some of the things I have learned about sheep are how they digest food, cuts of meat, they don’t like to eat when it is hot and how to care for newborn lambs. I feed my lambs twice a day and walk them daily.

I also care for my horse Cleo and my goat Nibbles. In my spare time I like to read, swim, play basketball, and go camping and skiing.

In the future, I would like to go Cow Palace and the state fair with my sheep. I would like to go to U.C. Davis College to be a pediatric nurse.
