What can I say about Show Me? This is a difficult profile for me to write after losing Show Me
this year. She had to be euthanized due to complications after lambing. Sadly, we also lost her
final contribution to our flock, a ewe lamb we named Lone Star Godiva, and her ram lamb, Lone
Star Yancy. What a tragic loss to our flock, and to myself and Mike personally, since she had
lived here at Lone Star Farm since the time she was purchased from Tina Hatley of Arkansas
on May 29, 2004. Bred by Charles R. Beam, she was originally a gift to the Hatley youngsters.
We miss Show Me and her regal presence as lead sheep, affectionately referred to as Queen
Mother, Mother Superior or aptly, The Boss. She was a heritage ewe with social position that
answered to no one, including the rams to whom she was bred. Everything was orchestrated
and executed according to her plans even during breeding, to our amazement and the
confusion and bewilderment of many a young inexperienced ram. During her reign, anything
(equipment, a new stock tank, etc.), or any sheep, goose, duck, or chicken introduced, had to
be perused by The Queen herself and knighted with the sword of her approval before the
rest of the flock would bow to acceptance, as comical and sometimes frustrating as it was to her
shepherds. She was truly a lead ewe that would defend her lambs and her flock from predation
with as much determination and tenacity as any ram we have ever witnessed. She considered
our Livestock Guarding Dogs as predators that were fair game, and each one of them gave her
a wide berth after being somersaulted through the air as pups that, in her mind, had taken a
wrong turn somewhere and needed to be taught a lesson. To their dismay, it was a hard lesson
learned. Though a little rough on the guard dogs, they adjusted to her ways, but were never totally
accepted by the rest of the sheep until after Show Me's passing. She made us proud to have
such a responsible and reliable animal at the helm when the pups were still too young to tend
to business. There will never be another Show Me.
Below is Show Me's Pedigree, short and sweet, and back to basics. She was an original that
has left her mark on the world of registered Barbados Blackbelly Sheep. We'll miss her.
