HAMILTON SHEEPVENTION

4 & 5 August 2008

Sheepvention is the ideal place to source the latest information on everything from genetics, forestry, cropping, machinery, motor vehicles, caravans, education, computers and the list goes on.

Add to that you have a huge range of clothing, work wear and food outlets keen to showcase their wares.

Record Crowds
More than 25,000 people poured through the gates in 2007, to enjoy the fashion, entertainment, information, education, food and wine that Sheepvention had to offer.
Ram Sales
The unique selling system for the Sheepvention Pen of 5 Rams was designed to meet the needs of the commercial producer.
This selling system has proved immensely popular with both the buyer and the vendor.
The vendor is able to present an even line of Rams, so that buyers can purchase from one to all five rams, depending on their requirements.

Both vendors and buyers attend from all over Australia including those who make the trek from Western Australia, and a very strong and faithful contingent from New South Wales.

 

SHEEP

The feature breed for the 2008 Hamilton and Western District Sheep Show run in conjunction with Sheepvention is the Texel.
Go to Sheepvention page The Sheep Show reflects the diversity and history of sheep breeding in Australia, with representations from the so-called heritage breeds such as the Lincoln and English Leicesters, the prime lamb breeds, dual purpose breeds and the wool breeds.

The Merino section augments the strong representation of the merino breed throughout the Sheepvention site - the Sheep Show, the Ram Sale and individual stud trade displays.

INVENTIONS

The Sheep and Wool Handling Inventions Show.
Go to Invention page This is a major competition designed to stimulate the invention, manufacture and display of new equipment that will be of benefit to the Sheep and Wool Industry.

FASHION

The Wool fashion parade is a professionally staged fashion show with ten top models, produced and presented by Lucy Kiraly of the Fashion Team.
Go to Fashion page The Wool Fashion Parade is a key feature of Sheepvention. It is an eagerly anticipated event and one of Sheepvention's most popular attractions - with over 550 people attending each of the four parades held each day. In addition, a special preview parade, held on the Sunday night before Sheepvention, is well attended by the Hamilton public, members of the committee and is a valuable promotional opportunity.

TRADE

Exhibitors old and new enjoy the strong crowds that turn the Hamilton Showgrounds into a hive of activity over the Monday and Tuesday of Sheepvention.
And with more than 500 exhibitors, ranging from agricultural products and consultant services, cooking utensils, garden wares, fashion, jewelry, craft, food, and wine, there was definitely something for everyone.
