ORONO — University of Maine Cooperative Extension, working with staff from the Maine Dept. of Agriculture and the federal agency Resource Conservation and Development, has organized a goat and sheep auction for Saturday, Oct. 11 in Corinth. 

The auction, which is intended to connect producers with new ethnic consumer markets in Maine, will begin at 10 a.m. at the Tilton auction facility on Puddle Dock Road, just off Route 43.  The auction will be preceded by an educational session about how the event will work.

More than 150 consigned animals will be auctioned.  This is believed by organizers to be the first auction of its kind in Maine.
