With farmers across the district now battling drought conditions that, for many, “haven’t been seen in years” times are certainly tough on the land. But next month’s Sheepvention looks set to provide a welcome relief away from the paddocks – a time to unite with friends, wander the many stalls, share a few tales and possibly even pick up a bargain or two. And with plenty of things to see and do for all ages, Sheepvention 2025 looks set to be a great day out.
