September 2005 Edition

Plan to attend the 2005 CWA Katahdin Show and Sale to be held November 24th, 25th and 26th in Regina, Saskatchewan.  This year’s show promises to be a great one with some excellent quality Katahdin breeding stock.  The judge will be Javier Lara, DVM of Queretaro, Mexico.  Dr. Lara has judged all Hair Sheep Breeds as well as Suffolks, Hamps, Dorsets and Rambouillet.  He was trained in Iowa and Texas by the United States Sheep Seedstock Alliance and is a trainer for Mexican Sheep Judges.  He is currently the Secretary for the Mexican Sheep Producers Association and the President for the World Sheep and Wool Congress 2007.  In addition to all this Dr. Lara is also a teacher for Sheep Science at Monterrey Tech. 

 The SKSA feels that this is an excellent advertising tool in which producers can show what they have for breeding stock while gaining international exposure for the Katahdin breed.  Not only do you have the opportunity to show off your sheep, but there is once again some excellent prize money up for grabs.  So plan to bring out your Katahdin Sheep and make this years show one of the best in years!!!  To obtain information regarding showing your sheep feel free to call (306)429-2221 or visit www.agribition.com for official entry forms.
