SECOND ANNUAL PRODUCTION SALE ANNOUNCEMENT
All members of the Western States Dorper Association (WSDA) are invited to consign
sheep to the second annual WSDA Production sale. This year we have moved the sale
to Chico State University Farm Livestock Pavilion approximately 25 minutes east of
Glenn County Fairgrounds where held last year and just minutes South of Chico, CA.
We are excited about partnering with Chico State College of Agriculture involving future
pastoralists/agriculturalists working with our Dorper and White Dorper breeds and
WSDA annual program.
The Board of Directors encourages participation from our youth members of WSDA
working with quality animals for growth and experience in production opportunities.
Education opportunities are included for all members again this year during our show
and sale. Animals are being provided to demonstrate specific conformation and
characteristic traits to look for in producing high quality Dorpers and White Dorpers.
