Showing Painted Desert Sheep

Several Painted Desert Sheep Society Members have begun
to show their Painted Desert Sheep. It is hard to find shows
that do accept them since they are a hair breed instead of
the typical wool breed that is normally seen at sheep shows.
Most shows are geared toward the 'wool' breeds of sheep.
Or geared more toward 4-H with a limit on the age of the
exhibitor. But the Open Shows are beginning to pop up
around the country allowing 'hair' breeds of sheep to
participate, and also allowing adults to be able to show their
sheep.

A few select shows are for the Hair Breeds Only, so the
'hair' breeds and 'wool' breeds do not have to compete
against each other. These are ideal shows to compete in
with the Painted Desert Sheep Breed. Check around your
area to see if there are shows that have classes, or are
willing to make classes for the Painted Desert Sheep.
Another option if you can not find local shows that allow the
Painted Desert Sheep breed is to join the Painted Desert
Sheep Society and you can show your sheep ''On-line" by
submitting pictures to classes you would like to participate
in.

We would love to see you at the Shows!
