A Unique Opportunity to Sell Your Sheep!
INDOOR ARENA
See map of Fair Park

Looking for a better way to buy or sell breeding stock? You now have that opportunity through the Stock Exchange, a market place where sheep and fiber enthusiasts can view them at the Wisconsin Sheep & Wool Festival!

It’s easy. Any kind of sheep can be sold: registered, commercial, wether-type, fiber-type, lambs, yearlings, mature, rams or ewes. Sheep do not have to be washed or fitted, but should be presentable and healthy. Sellers can set up bid boards at their pens, sell at a set price or negotiate with buyers as they please, any time between Friday morning and Sunday afternoon of the Festival.
