Border Leicesters, Merinos and Finnsheep have chosen to hold their National Sales in conjunction with the Great Lakes Sale. The Friday-Saturday show and sale format is a change from the Saturday-Sunday format of previous Great Lakes sales.

The Great Lakes Sheep and Wool Festival, also held that weekend on the fairgrounds, is an excellent backdrop for those three breeds, plus 17 other breeds of sheep that sell in Wooster. The Romney Specialty Sale will also be held that weekend, and there will be strong offerings of Cheviots, Columbias, Dorpers, Polled Dorsets, Horned Dorsets, Finnsheep, Hampshires, Katahdin, Montadales, Natural Coloreds, Oxfords, Rambouillet, Shropshires, Southdowns, Suffolks and Wether Sires and Dams. Over 250 head will be sold at Wooster, along with new and used equipment, fleeces and crafts.
