SUMMARY:2025 Northwest Sheep Exposition
DESCRIPTION:The Northwest Junior Sheep Exposition (NWJSE) presented by the Washington Junior Lamb Carcass Show (WJLCS)\, is an educational event offering youth the opportunity to obtain growth and ultrasound carcass results from lambs they exhibit. Participants will learn to select fast-gaining lambs that are heavily muscled and properly finished. Participation in this event will lead to a better understanding of the economics related to producing market lambs. The show provides participants the opportunity to exhibit their skills in showmanship\, fitting sheep\, judging sheep and wool\, and teaches spectators about the sheep industry and sheep husbandry through educational displays. Participation in the NWJSE is a quality educational experience because exhibitors learn about desirable market traits of meat and wool. \nFor more information\, please see the links below. \n2025 Premium Book \n2025 COUG Premier Exhibitor Guidelines
