'Shear' Determination Nets Competitors Awards At Sheep Exhibition

 
The 2017 Grasslands Sheep Exhibition attracted some top quality animals this year.
 
Twelve year old Emma Grimmeyer with Sheep Lake Suffolks at Clyde, Alta. showed the Supreme All Breeds Champion Ewe, while Clint Wiens of Wiens Livestock at Drake showed the Supreme All Breeds Ram a hampshire.
 
"He's from a favourite old ewe," said Wiens. "She's eight years old. So she's been around. That's quite old for a ewe. She's been on our farm ever since she was born, and it's just nice to see something that you worked really hard for, for a lot of years, finally pay off."
 
Wiens raises both dorsets and hampshires.
 
The dorsets he says are a good maternal breed, they have twins often and are good milkers and very hardy with our Saskatchewan winters, the hampshires are a terminal breed so their lambs always go to market as market lambs grow fast and have really good carcass quality.
