Dear Sheep and Goat Breeders,
On behalf of West Virginia Purebred Sheep Breeders Association, I would like to extend an invitation to you for the 65th Annual
West Virginia Sheep and Goat Show and Sale. The dates are Friday, May 29 and Saturday, May 30st at the Tri-County
Fairgrounds in Petersburg, West Virginia. This year’s events are going to be the most outstanding yet. Your Board Members
have been busy making plans!
Online bidding will be offered again this year. The North Country Cheviots will have their National Sale again. A Preview Show
will follow our sale on Sunday with market lambs and goats included! NO tail docking rule applies. Health inspections and
veterinary inspection certificates must accompany all animals. Also, we have added a top indexing, fall born, performance tested
ram lamb class. They will show in a separate class and they will sale last with their performance data. This will be about five rams.
The Dorcas 4-H club will be serving food and beverages and plans for a delicious lamb BBQ are under way. Also, bath and shower
facilities are available. We invite you to enjoy a complimentary meal as you check in.
Jim Baxter with RFS and Townsend Sales will be on hand for all your needed supplies.
Please include scrapie ID #’s on your entries as well as your flock ID’s. Have proper registrations at check in with scrapie ID
numbers with your registrations. Your payment may be held until registrations are received to Susie Kesner, Treasurer. We also
need your Email address printed clearly.
Remember that WV’s youth tail docking rule is still in effect this includes Club and Breeding Animals!
We encourage all sheep and goats to be gene checked. Please include this information in your comments for the catalog and
give the information to the auctioneer at sale time. We encourage all youth to know what the codon/scrapie test of each breeding
sheep/goat is before they purchase the animal.
We have added a $200.00 award to WV Juniors, who consign in their name and show their own animals and receive best
consignment in show. They must be in 4-H or FFA. West Virginia consignors let your junior members know about this award.
