We attended the Canadian Western Agribition Sheep Show & Sale on November 14-16 in Regina, SK. The barn was full with 264 head of excellent quality purebred and commercial sheep. It was the first time we have ever taken sheep to Agribition.
We were pleased to receive 1st place for our Mature Ram, Yearling Ram, Fall Born Ram and Ram Lamb.

The Ram Lamb went on to win Grand Champion Dorset Ram as well as Supreme Ram over all breeds.
