Zeke Hietala With his Lamb, Gyro
“My lamb is a Suffolk Cross. He was a month old when I got him in April. He’s the third lamb I’ve raised. I usually get up at 5:30 a.m. so we can get to town from our house in Elk Meadows to feed by 7 a.m. In the morning I feed my lamb Showmaster. It’s mostly corn and oats. It helps beef him up. After that I brace him. That’s when you push up against your lamb and they push back. It’s supposed to help build muscle so they weigh more. I like taking care of my lamb, but it’s a lot of work. At least it’s teaching me how to work with animals better. I’m excited about selling my lamb and walking him around during the show to be judged. I’m going to save my money to get a car when I get older.”
