Sheep Producers are encouraged to select fleeces to enter in the Wool Fleece Show that is held in conjunction with the Montana Seed Show held in Harlem, Montana on March 10th at the High School auditorium.

The fleece competition will be held on Thursday, March 10th.

Judging of the fleeces will begin at 1 p.m. and entries will be taken between the hours of 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. of that same day.

There is both a youth and adult division with 21 categories in both divisions.

Ribbons are awarded in all categories and a $100.00 in cash prizes will be given to both adult and youth in purebred and commercial divisions.

The judge is always more than glad to answer questions while judging and welcomes people to come and watch.
