It's that time again for one of Montana's premier sheep sales. Every year Choteau Montana hosts the Sheep Expo, which is an all-breed Ram and Ewe Sale, where Montana Producers gather with their best breeding stock to offer through Private Treaty to the public. This year there will be 75 Rams and Ewes in the sale. The sale will be held in the Weatherbeater Building in Choteau, MT same as it is every year. The date of the sale is Saturday, September 10, 2011 and they're hosting a breakfast for everyone starting at 8:00 a.m. The Auction itself will be at 12:00 noon.
