Spencer, IA (KICD)– The Clay County Fairground is rolling out the red carpet this week for the National Columbia Sheep Show and Sale.

Columbia Sheep are known for being larger and having a superb mothering and milking ability along with being able to produce a heavy, medium fleece that is highly sought by testile manufacturers.

Activities began on Wednesday with the National Wool Show and will continue through Saturday morning. The public is welcome to attend any part of the show and sale.

We will be learning more when the Spencer Radio Group broadcasts live from the Clay County Fairgrounds on Thursday morning from nine to eleven on Big Country 107.7.
