| Showing Painted Desert Sheep |
| Several Painted Desert Sheep Society Members have begun to show their Painted Desert Sheep. It is hard to find shows that do accept them since they are a hair breed instead of the typical wool breed that is normally seen at sheep shows. Most shows are geared toward the 'wool' breeds of sheep. Or geared more toward 4-H with a limit on the age of the exhibitor. But the Open Shows are beginning to pop up around the country allowing 'hair' breeds of sheep to participate, and also allowing adults to be able to show their sheep. |
| Washington County Farmers & Merchants Fair Open Sheep Show - Salem, Indiana One day show open to all breeds of sheep and all ages of exhibitors. Show usually held in June of each year, date to be posted when received for 2009. Sponsored by: Washington County Sheep Association and Washington County Fair Board. Information contact: 812-883-4601. Website: http://www.wcsheep.org/ |
| Contact us with more information on other Open shows and we can post information here for others. Thanks, |
| A few select shows are for the Hair Breeds Only, so the 'hair' breeds and 'wool' breeds do not have to compete against each other. These are ideal shows to compete in with the Painted Desert Sheep Breed. Check around your area to see if there are shows that have classes, or are willing to make classes for the Painted Desert Sheep. Another option if you can not find local shows that allow the Painted Desert Sheep breed is to join the Painted Desert Sheep Society and you can show your sheep ''On-line" by submitting pictures to classes you would like to participate in. |
| We would love to see you at the Shows! |
