Lamb School is a valuable experience for youth, leaders, and agents of all skill levels. There are three days of very intense instruction with as much hands-on learning as possible. Participants bring at least one lamb, but they are allowed to bring two. In order to keep the groups small, the number of applications is limited to the first 75, on a "first come, first served" basis.

Attendees must be in compliance with the 2013 New Mexico Livestock Board Guidelines for Livestock Exhibitors.

The subjects covered are:

  • Selection
  • Nutrition
  • Grooming
  • Showmanship and sportsmanship
  • Ethics
  • Preparing for a fair
  • Care during a fair
  • Exercise

Registration is done online. Contact your local County Extension Office.
