This photo was taken in the sheep selling complex at the Katanning Show Ground. This sale was the Great Southern Sheep Breeders Association annual stock sale, selling merino sheep by auction in 1948. In 2004, the shed is part of the Machinery Restoration shed.
The clerks assist the auctioneer to identify buyers and then write down who has bought the animals.
