posts information on sheep sales and sheep events as a public service. Posting sale and event information does
not imply endorsement or verification of the claims of any sale or event. KHSI encourages the use of performance
records and production data as the primary means of selecting sheep instead of
using visual appraisal typical of most shows, sales, and auctions. Sales and events posted are not

receive accurate information on the genetic potential for growth, milking
ability and prolificacy.
