to present a class of yearling ewes
in a most attractive manner and
give spectators an opportunity to
see the best of the sheep industry.
The normal procedure at a
livestock show is for the animal
to be all primped and lovely, but
in KILE’s Lead Line competition
the leadspian is also in the lime
light. Both are to be dressed fash
ionably in their best wool outfit
with at least 80% wool.
Not just another pretty face
can steal our show. Our herdsper
son must not only look grand but
our sheep must also show their
modeling talents. The contestants
and the sheep must be able to
work together in the ring.
The stet line competition has
been around KILE for years and
each year it gets easier for contes
tants to find their wool garments.
