EASTERN MONTANA FAIRGROUNDS-MILES CITY, MT
Join us in Miles City, MT, for sheep week! The 11th Annual Montana Ewe Sale and 99th Annual Montana Ram Sale will take place September 11 and 12 at the Eastern Montana Fairgrounds. Our MWGA member-consignors have been working hard to get all their data collected, sorting through their rams and ewes, and making plans for sale week all year long. The work begins for the consignors early in the week, as rams and ewes arrive on the grounds. Each ram and ewe sold on-site is individually inspected by the sale veterinarian. After the sheep are settled in, the fun begins! On Wednesday, September 11, Montana State University Extension will be hosting a panel discussion on “Opportunities and Challenges for US Grown and Sewn Wool and Natural Fiber Clothing” from 1-3pm. Take the afternoon to check out our vendor booths in the agri-sports building, explore Miles City, do some shopping (especially with our sale sponsors), check into your hotel, and enjoy a little air conditioning! Come back to Eastern MT Fairgrounds to view the ram and ewes in the offering at any time. Be sure to get a bidders number from the Lewistown Livestock, Inc. table in the Agri-Sports building. The Ewe Sale social will begin at 5pm, with snacks and a cash bar available. The Ewe Sale starts promptly at 6pm with 475 ewes and ewe lambs being offered!!. A variety of breeds and crossbred ewes will be offered, on-site and off-site. On Thursday morning, buyers will be showing up to take a look at the 285 range rams offered in the 99th Annual Montana Ram Sale. Grab a donut and cup of coffee and stroll the aisles looking over the offering. This sale provides data including: scrapie codon, NSIP data, production records, ribeye scans, wool micron, and more! Visit with consignors to get your questions answered and find a ram that fits your flock. There are several breeds available from our 22 consignors. A lamb lunch will be served from 11AM until the food is gone. American Leg-of-lamb will be the spotlight of the meal. The sale will kick-off at noon sharp!
