Grasslands Show Program 2023

The Saskatchewan Sheep Breeders' Association was established in 1909 by a group of sheep producers who wanted to improve the sheep industry in Saskatchewan. As a group, they knew they could promote the sheep industry, deal with significant issues, and support each other in raising high-quality breeding sheep by working together.

SSBA members come from across the province and other provinces, producing both purebred and commercial sheep. There are breeders of 17 different purebred breeds as well as several crosses. 2023 is the 46th year of holding the Grasslands Sheep Exhibition. We are all very proud to have been able to continue what those in 1977 started. From Vanscoy, Assiniboia, Drake & now Humboldt, all the venues have ended with the same result of promoting the production & sale of high-quality purebred & commercial sheep in Saskatchewan. Our goal is to make the Grasslands Sheep Exhibition a lasting tradition for many years to come, so we appreciate your attendance. Partnering with the Saskatchewan Sheep Development Board for the Grasslands event is a great pleasure. The Grasslands Sheep Exhibition team would like to thank everyone who contributed to its success in 2023.
