Opportunities to show off years of top-class breeding, months of training, and weeks of planning and preparation don’t come around often enough. So when they do, everything has to be perfect. On the day of the sale quality is a given, but perfection takes time; time and lots of dedication. Some do it for the love of farming, the love of livestock, the love of the breed, to win, to get the best price and others just want to have fun. A family tradition, to participate, to travel, to groom and get out and about.
