2009 Midwest Stud Ram Sale, Sedalia, Missouri

            It is normally pretty warm in Sedalia but most thought that this year was unusually hot and miserable. But the Shropshire enthusiasts endured the temperatures and enjoyed the showing of the sale sheep on Wednesday and did their bidding on Saturday morning. This year, the breed combined the wether sires and dams with the  breeding sheep and had one show. Judge Gary Saylor of Ohio evaluated  the entries. The Champion Ram was a yearling consigned by Highlife Farm and sold to Kaitlyn  Robinson  of Arkansas for $200. The Reserve Champion Ram was an Early Soring Ram Lamb from The Cole Club Lamb flock that sold to Silvertop Farms of Oklahoma. The popular ram in the sale was the second place Yearling Ram from Morgan Cabaniss that sold to Randy Smith of Indiana for $3600. This made the Yearling Rams the highest averaged age group at $1333.33. The Champion  Ewe was a Yearling Ewe from High Farms. She also sold to Kaitlyn  Robinson for $300. In all, 32 head sold at an average of $359.56.

2008 Shropshire Classic draws enthusiasm with 154 entries
By Becky Peterson
ASRA Secretary
    Sale day dawned clear, warm and bright after two days of rain in Eaton, Ohio. It was a great place for Shropshire sheep and their enthusiasts. One breeder quoted that it was the largest gathering of Shropshire sheep at a public auction since the mid- 1980’s in Bloomington, Ill. One hundred fifty-four head were cataloged to sell. Judge Steve Myers of Rushsylvania, Ohio did an admirable job putting the entries in sale order on Friday.
    Prior to the sale on Saturday, the sheep were brought out by class and displayed for review in sale order. Buyers had an excellent opportunity to look at the animals they were interested in. The Ohio Shropshire Breeders Association provided morning refreshments during the preview. Directly after the sale preview, three yearling ewes purchased as Futurity lambs at the Classic in 2007 were shown in a “comeback class” judged by Bob Johnson of Missouri. The winner of the class was Paxton Wenger with her yearling ewe, S Bar S 638. This ewe placed third in the Shropshire Ewe Lamb Futurity last year. (See Paxton with her ewe).
     According to the preliminary sale report issued by Banner Sale Management, 130 head were sold at an average of $478.27 per head. The Champion Ewe was a yearling consigned by Pennsylvania’s Rolling Hills Farm. She sold to Hallie Walker of Williamstown, Massachusetts for $1400. The Reserve Champion Ewe, a January Ewe Lamb from Randy & Julie Rife of Ohio, sold for $1600 toTyler Bruhin of Tennessee.
     The Champion Ram was a yearling consigned by High Life Farm. He sold to Avery Shropshires and Erik Mrozinski of Indiana for $3000. The Reserve Champion Ram was a Mitchell Mrozinski January ram lamb that sold to the Melvin Family of Mt Sterling, OH for $700.
    Prices held up well in the top end of the classes with the Early January Ewe Lamb Class posting a respectful preliminary average of $667.86 on 14 head. Thirty five yearling ewes sold along with 11 Fall Ewe Lambs, 14 early January Ewe Lambs, 13 Late January Ewe Lambs, 23 February Ewe Lambs, 2 March Ewe Lambs. In the ram department, nine Yearling Rams sold along with six Fall Ram Lambs, 10 January Ram Lambs, six February Ram Lambs and one March Ram Lamb.
    Fifty-six ewe lambs were nominated to the 2008 Shropshire Futurity. Hats off to the Futurity committee for creating that enthusiasm amongst the consignors.
     A more complete sale report will be posted as soon as it is released from Banner Sale Management.
