May. 19, 2020
Cheviot sheep

Here's a great opportunity from the Ohio Cheviot Breeders Association (OCBA). They are seeking applicants for the Jim Cluff Memorial Starter Flock Award. The purpose of the award is to introduce the youth to the enjoyment of raising and owning a purebred Cheviot sheep, as well as encouraging the growth of new Cheviot breeders in Ohio.

The OCBA started the contest in 1994 to award a Cheviot starter flock to an Ohio youth up to 17 years of age.

The contest winner will receive the following: a one-year membership in the OCBA, one bred ewe the first year, one ram the second year and in the third year the youth will donate a lamb to continue the award.
.
The application deadline is September 30. For an application and contest rules please contact the Ohio Cheviot Breeders Association Starter Flock Committee Chairperson, Tabitha Weisend, at 740-459-9751 or tabithasregcheviots@yahoo.com.
