High Desert Grange Top Pics in Old Timers and Whipper Snappers’ Goat and Sheep Show

October 2 found the High Desert Grange at Lattin Farms participating in the Old Timers and Whipper Snappers’ Goat and Sheep Show. “Old Timers” never reveal their age, but “Whipper Snappers” range in age from 3 to 9.

Unlike most events, this show is run entirely by High Desert Grange youth, including preparing and coaching the adults, under the supervision of adults Debra Hoffman and Snow Morrison. Held as a fundraiser, the annual show helps support livestock youth shows, provides funds for youth to attend workshops, and aids in other livestock youth education programs.

High Desert Grange would like to thank show sponsors Debra Hoffman, Snow Morrison, and Kirsten Roberti. Additionally, the Grange thanks judges Sandi Weisupt and Paula Terrell for donating their time and energy to bring this event together. And a big “Thank You” from the Grange to all the contestants who entered.
