After a family friend asked Country View 4-H member Rachel Wilke to give exhibiting sheep a try, the Door County Quality Market Animal Sale Program gave her the tools to succeed.

Wilke had previously only shown cows at the Door County Fair before trying sheep two years ago. She says her parents, and the members of the QMAS program helped her a lot.
