The objective: To encourage youth to select Columbia sheep as a youth project and to retain these youth as active Columbia sheep breeders after they reach adult age.

Awards: A $50 certificate good towards the purchase of a registered Columbia sheep is given to point-earners each year. The award will only be given to an individual one time. For more information on how you can earn points for this award contact the Columbia Sheep Association.
