Sheep producers are encouraged to select fleeces to enter in the wool fleece show that is held in conjunction with the Montana Seed Show held in Harlem, Montana on March 14th in the Harlem High School Auditorium.

The fleece competition will be held Thursday, March 14th. Judging of the fleeces will begin at 1 p.m. and entries will be taken between the hours of 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. of that same day.

There is both youth and adult divisions with 21 categories in both divisions. Ribbons are awarded in all categories and a $100.00 cash prize will be given to both adult and youth in purebred and commercial divisions.
