In 2009 the American Oxford Sheep Association began sponsoring a ewe lamb youth futurity program. Oxford breeders nominate their ewe lambs for the program and pay a nomination fee that cumulatively comprises the pot for program premiums. Junior members purchasing nominated ewe lambs have an opportunity to compete against one another to accumulate points based upon class size and placing. Points are tabulated after the North American International Livestock Exposition Junior Show using the top 5 points shows for each ewe lamb. Placings from first through tenth receive a premium for both national and district level participants. This program could not be possible or successful without the generosity of Oxford breeders in nominating ewe lambs who we thank.
