No Royal Whites this year- but Katahdins from Top Producers and the University of Maryland are coming

I have had quite a few inquiries about what breeds will be coming this year- the answer-
Katahdins
and Katahdin X Dorpers.

We have really good Shepherds bringing really good sheep this year. I know that the quality will be high. I have seen the stock from many of these producers before and I am always impressed by their animals.

If you are a sheep producer, and you have an "un popular" breed- this is exactly the type of place you need to be!!
Sales such as this are the perfect place to showcase not just your breeding stock, but your breed as well. Producers with breeds such as St. Croix or Wiltshire Horn- who generally have to travel a long distance to find another producer with that breed should make it a point to come to the sale and "talk up" the benefits of the breed. After all, there was SOME reason you chose them over a different breed of hair sheep.
If you are a producer with these breeds and you are afraid you will invest a lot of time and money coming to a sale, only to go home with your sheep because no one bought them, then make it a point to let people know you will be there. People are interested in them- really- I know- because they are calling to find out if your breed will be at the sale!!
