Rabobank Katanning Sheep Show & Sale, WA

Rabobank Katanning Sheep Show & Sale, WA

So far so good for the show to go on!

The Great Southern Merino Sheepbreeders’ Association is excited to announce that the 2020 Rabobank WA Sheep Expo & Ram Sale planned to be held at the Katanning Leisure Centre on Thursday 20^th and Friday 21^st August 2020 will be going ahead. 

This decision has been made on the basis of over 30 studs committing to attend and to display sheep, unanimous support from sponsors and stakeholders and now, formal approval from the Shire of Katanning to proceed with plans to hold the event.  This decision would not have been possible without the great outcomes being achieved by the WA Government in Covid19 management.

As you would be aware, this event is an essential agricultural service and provides economic and networking benefits to both stud breeders, sponsors and trade exhibitors.  The show also provides many financial benefits to local Katanning businesses, accommodation providers and community groups and is a drawcard for visitors to the Great Southern during the show week.

Please note, that whilst we hope by the end of August to resume to an as ‘normal’ event as possible, at this stage we are required to draft procedures that follow all current Covid19 WA State government guidelines.  The event will primarily be for the displaying of sheep and important ram sale, but we will continue to work towards being able to facilitate show events where possible, under Covid-safe conditions.  All attendees will be informed prior and during the event of the new procedures to follow.

Yours faithfully
