2020 CWGA CALIFORNIA RAM SALE Representatives from the California Wool Growers Association made arrangements to go to each consignor’s flock to conduct a quality and health sift and to take videos and still photos of all of the lots. Health sifting was done by veterinarians. The veterinarians have supplied the CWGA with signed documents stating the animals are sound. The following letter is from Wes Patton and John Olagaray regarding the sale. March 29, 2020 Dear 2020 California Ram Sale Buyer: We know you have been concerned about the California Ram Sale and if there was going to be one or not. The health and well being of our consignors and buyers is our main concern, while still providing a service to the sheep industry. The Ram Sale Committee and the California Wool Growers Association Executive Committee had a conference call last night looking at options for the ram sale and adopted the idea presented by a group of consignors to hold an online auction this year. Representatives from the California Wool Growers Association will make arrangements to go to each consignor's flock to conduct a quality and health sift and to take videos and still photos of all of the lots. You will then have the opportunity to view these from the comfort of your own home prior to the sale. The sale will be held over a two day period starting April 17th at 8:00 a.m.(Pacific Standard Time) and ending April 18th at 3:00 p.m. (PST). The rams will be delivered to collection points as determined after the sale for ease of pick up. An explanation of the complete bid process will be distributed to you soon. The CWGA is arranging for people to help you learn the online bidding process if you haven't bid online before. By Wednesday, April 1st, you can view the sale order and become familiar with the website by going to: www.susantaylorshowservices.com and clicking on the "Current Sales" tab, then click on "View Current Online Sales". As we sift and take videos and photos, we will update the site. By April 13th all information will be on the website. If you have any questions please contact Wes Patton at (530) 514-7250, John Olagaray at (209) 663-7322, or Susan Taylor at (530) 966-1975. Respectfully, Wes Patton & John Olagaray Ram Sale Committee Chairs
