The Association has two official sales, held at Worcester market in August and Melton Mowbray market in September.  The entries at both sales are subject to inspection by a veterinary surgeon.  Catalogues are available from the auctioneers or from the Association’s website shortly before each sale.  There is normally a good selection of both rams and ewes available at these sales.
