The WCLA held their annual sale Saturday April 11 in Jefferson Wisconsin at the fair grounds. There were 54 lambs consigned by 20 breeders. The sale kicked off with a pick of the barn. This was one of the high sellers at $750 and the pick was Peterson Show lambs lot #6. Meudt also had a high seller at $750. The sale total was $11,475 with an average of $239.06 on all lambs. We had a total of 22 buyers purchase lambs. There were 6 no sales. Thanks to all the breeders for bringing out a nice set of lambs and to all the buyers for making the sale a success.

 
2009 Updates

Commercial Ewe Division – The Board and members voted to create a Commercial Ewe Division for the 2009 show season.  Only ewes are allowed to show in this division, however, a ewe does not have to compete in this division.  If shown in the commercial ewe division, the ewe is not eligible to be shown in a different class at the same show (animal can only be shown once per show).  The Commercial Ewe division will be broke by weight, not be breed.  A Grand and Reserve should be selected for the Commercial Ewe Division.

Speckled and/or Black Face AOBs - Must be shown in the Crossbred class unless they are classified as a Suffolk, Hampshire or Natural.

Novice division will continue but in a slightly different way.  Novices can now earn points at all WCLA sanctioned shows.  Novices no longer have their own class.  They now compete in the regular classes and receive points based on their placing.  For example, if a Novice places in 4th, they receive 7 points, 5th place equals 6 points, etc.)  Novice points will be totaled on a minimum of 2 shows and a maximum of 4 shows.  Showmanship standings break ties. 

Points will be tallied for the top 8 shows
Exhibitors must show at 6 shows to qualify for all awards.
