The Fall Meeting of the WCLA was held on September 11, 2011, at the Wisconsin Sheep and Wool Festival.  Members voted on several items that will impact this year’s show season:

1. The WCLA Futurity Show will be discontinued due to low participation.

2. A Commercial Ewe lamb division will be added to the WCLA awards p
rogram. The board was charged with determining how the commercial ewe lamb class would count towards the sweepstakes competition. The following decisions were made for commercial ewes:
- Born in the current year.
- Treated like a breed (same points and competes for GrandChampion).
- If a commercial ewe is shown as a commercial ewe, she cannot be shown at the same show in another class (only shown once per show).
- Shown by weight.

3. Rule clarification - a WCLA junior member must show his or her own lamb to receive points. A substitution showman (WCLA Junior member) will be allowed for the following reasons: two animals in same class, death or family crisis, sickness or a physical  injury documented by a physician.
