THIS year’s Sheepvention will be missing one of its original components, the Ram Sales.

Since Sheepvention’s inception 45 years ago, the sale by auction of rams has been one of the expo’s main features, with studs from New South Wales, South Australia, Tasmania as well as Victoria sending rams to be sold at open-cry auction as part of the two-day event in the first week of August.
