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.
