The 2011 National Canadian
Katahdin Sheep Show and Sale has come and gone for another year. This year’s
show saw 73 head entered from eight different breeders and the quality of
Katahdins was tremendous. The barns were full of people stopping to inquire
about the breed and the sale saw 32 bidders registered so the interest is
growing!
The prices were really strong for quality females and the average was
$654.00 with the highlight being a bred ewe selling for $875.00. The rams sold
for an average of $654.00 as well with the highlight being a yearling that sold
for $1175.00.
We would also like to take a
moment and thank the people that make our event possible! First, I would like
to mention our sponsors and exhibitors because without your continued support,
our Show and Sale would not be the success that it is year after year. So Thank
You to the CKSA, West Central Pelleting in Wolseley, SK, Merial Canada and our
Exhibitors.
Next a special Thank You to Calvin Rydzik for donating the Raffle
Lamb which raised $880.00 for the SKSA! The lamb was won by Alison Halvorson of
Kuroki, SK.
Also, to each and every one of you that helps out whether it is our
Barn Boss (Alicia & Evan Mann) our Sale Coordinator (Donna Bruynooghe) our
Announcer (Bonnie Ramsey) our Photographer & Ribbons Presenter (Larry & Valerie
Richter) our Show Clerk (Brenda Rydzik) or those of you that work the SKSA
display booth – we couldn’t pull this off without your help!
Sorry if I missed
anyone...
