2024 California Ram Sale Averages
The California Ram Sale is dedicated to providing buyers with educational information and high-quality rams in an effort to improve lamb quality production in California. Crossbred, Hampshire, Suffolk, Composites, Oxfords and White-Face rams are auctioned off in the sale from multiple outstanding, well-established breeders allowing for varying genetics.
All rams are ELISA tested for epididymitis by consignors or rams originate in a certified Brucella Ovis “free” herd.
In our commitment to meeting the highest quality of standards, all rams are rigorously inspected by UC Davis large animal veterinarians/residents, and sheepmen for soundness, health abnormalities, and structural correctness.
The proceeds from the California Ram Sale support CWGA in its efforts to deliver lasting value to support and represent the interests of all California sheep producers and fight for the future prosperity of our sheep industry.
Some of the checklist items:
- Meet minimum weight requirements
- Age
- Scrotal circumference check
- Physical condition
The Ram Sale Trade Show features a variety of sheep health and equipment companies.
