We would like to thank the Canadian Sheep Breeders Association and the Manitoba Sheep Association for a great All Canada Classic 2025 in beautiful Brandon. I am sure i will forget somebody, so I will do my best to add thanks to:
-all the directors and volunteers, particularly Bethan Lewis, Sarah Lewis Joel Lewis, Kendra the vet, Sarah Brien, all the usual suspects;
-all the exhibitors;
-the judges;
-all the buyers, both repeat customers and new ones: Starborn Farms, Don Johnston, Joel Lewis, Estuary Colony, Daniel Ecker, Emma Grimmeyer, Max Wegner, Thomas Leggott, and last but not least, the people that bought the fall-born Canadian ram whose name I won't know until sale results are posted or I find that card you gave me, whichever comes first, and one more we have yet to identify. We have sheep going to BC, AB, SK, MB, and QC.
-HUGE thanks to Donna Courchesne, a Dorper breeder from Quebec, who was the go-between who made that great sale to Starborn Farms happen. I owe you big time! Also to Daniel Ecker, you make a Horned Dorset guy feel appreciated. Ted Tschetter, I am so glad you got the ram and I love how you appreciate him.
Highlights (aka the stuff you will always remember)-
-the smoke, the heat, the humidity;
-catching up with old friends and making some new ones;
-the banquet;
-Patric buying Emma's Dorset ewe lamb, and Emma buying Patric's Dorset ewe lamb, and neither one of them realizing until after the fact that they had bought each other's lambs;
- Graham Rannie showing up with a box of Tim's coffee at exactly the right moment!
Edit to add: how nice it was to see the Bardens again, and to finally meet Scott & Jen Mar-Mac Acres Kealey in person, and to see Darwin Gork and Konur Gork again, haven't seen you guys since the Classic in 2019!
