The Manitoba Sheep Association will host its annual show and sale at the Minnedosa Fair Grounds this weekend and you are invited to check it out.
"Oh there is lots going on, we have over one-hundred head of sheep coming in that will be shown at our show and sale, from purebred, commercials, everything will be there", says Ingrid Stalman, Vice-chair of the Manitoba Sheep Association.
Buyers and bidders will have lots of chances to look at a variety of breeds at the show and sale. They are coming in from all over Manitoba and there are some entries coming from Saskatchewan. If you are unable to make it to the sale in person, you can bid online through the Gladstone Auction Mart.
There will also be a Junior Show at the event, so the kids have a chance to show off their skills. This also includes a costume class.
Stalman mentions that outside of the sheep side of things, there is alot going on.
"Again this year we'll have stock dog demonstrations, sheering demonstrations and wool handling, and we have the trade show. It's really an all-around event that is also family friendly."
The event is completely free for you and the family to attend and there is a full schedule available on the association's website. Today (Thursday) is devoted to receiving and inspecting animals coming in while all events get underway starting Friday.
