We have four happy kids to tell you about!
The Alberta Sheep Breeders Association is pleased to announce the winners of our Youth Incentive Program!

The fabulous producers who contributed to their portion of the fund made it so that we could split the entries into age groups, and award first and second place in each age split. First place winners receive $600 and second place winners receive $400 towards the purchase of a purebred, registered female.

Age 14 and over:
1st place- Charlotte Keitel
2nd place- Mackenzie Flanders

Age 13 and under:
1st place- Hannah Hobbs
2nd place- Atley Stoney

Congratulations to our winners!

Which one would you bid on based just on the photos?
(BTW they are both taken by the same person.)
The ASBA Photo/Video workshop is May 30 at the Lyster farm north of Halkirk. With very strong interest in trying again to have an ASBA-sponsored online sale (potentially this fall), it is very important for producers to be able to properly represent their sheep digitally.
Come and take some photos with your camera or your smart phone, the Badlands Spring Select sale sheep will be available as your guinea pigs. Caelidh from C.E. Johanson Photography will be on hand to guide you and answer your questions. Also hear Mike Grimmeyer's talk on pre-sale presentation (wool length, condition, etc.) and then a talk from Trouw's nutritionist.
We can get you all the information you need to successfully market sheep online.
Pre-register by email at [email protected] and pay a registration fee of just $25 per farm (e-transfer to the same email). Registrants will receive a pin/directions and information about time via email.

EIGHTEEN! That's how many entries we had for the ASBA Youth Incentive program!
The entries are with our judge now, and while we hope to announce the winners on May 15, because of the high number of entries and the great variety of types of entry, we are prepared to give our judge a few more days if they request it.
The entries were phenomenal! We had great graphics, excellent writing, poetry, drawings, loads of photos, many videos, and 18 deserving juniors.
We are pleased to announce that with the producer-funded portion and a tiny top-up from ASBA, we are now giving out not one, but FOUR awards! The entries were split evenly into age groups, nine 13 and under, and nine 14 and up. First and second place will be awarded in each age split.
Stay tuned for the winners!
