If you are lambing, now is the time to be watching for that lamb to enter in the Romney Specialty Sale. The sale will be held the weekend of May 24-25 in Wooster, Ohio. The 2013 National Romney Sale was held during this event and the results were very positive for buyers and sellers. Top quality animals and strong bids from the stands made the weekend a great promotional for Romney sheep.
Entries for white and natural colored lambs and yearlings will be accepted. All entries are to be forwarded to Banner Sales Management, and all animals must be registered and comply with the general rules stated on the sale management website. Be sure to follow health requirements, DNA testing, and guidelines for selling.
For more information, check details at www.bannersheepmagazine.com or call
309-785-5058. Entries are due March 15, 2014 so don’t delay in getting lambs registered and health needs met.
