Sheepvention Rural Expo 2024 will be held from Sunday 4 August until Monday 5 August.
Sheepvention Rural Expo brings together farming, competitions, innovation, entertainment and paddock to plate education. This event is run by the Hamilton Pastoral and Agricultural Society, attracting over 25,000 visitors and 600 trade exhibitors to the show. The event is held in the first week of August each year at the Hamilton Showgrounds.
Some components of the event include the Ram Sale, Hamilton & Western District Sheep Show, Victorian Yard Dogs Championships, Inventions Competition, Kids Muster Trail, and much more!
The Ram Sale is a unique part of the show, where rams are sold to Victorian and Interstate vendors in order to demonstrate the diversity of sheep in Australia. Whilst the sale is generally renowned for its pen of five, in 2022 the committee also opened up to a pen of three to cater for various studs, following the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The Victorian Yard Dogs Championships also attracts huge crowds as does the Hamilton & Western District Sheep Show.
The Kids Muster Trail focusses on the education of paddock to plate concepts and sustainability in farming as well as in our own backyards – in a very fun and engaging way.
Sheepvention Rural Expo also showcases sustainability and ethical farming practices in Victoria.
In 2023, the Hamilton P&A Society celebrated 165 years of operation and 45 years of running Sheepvention in Hamilton, Victoria.
Sheepvention Rural Expo is a vital and historical event for Hamilton, Victoria.
Sheepvention 2023 will be held from Sunday 4 August until Monday 5 August.
