We are still going to score our beginners at the Oregon Sheep Growers Association Shearing School on May 18th. So, if you were planning on attending shearing school and want scored there, great!

Beginner shearers will have the opportunity to shear on Friday, June 6th at 11am (prior to intermediates contest). The top scores from May 18th will be brought forward for the competition on June 6th.

Just remember that if you shear on June 6th, you will need to bring your own handpiece, etc. whereas at the shearing school equipment will be on hand to borrow.

Registration is $50 either way and you only get to shear one or the other.”
