Dairy sheep producers supplementing value-added sheep milk products to their business operations are invited to attend this month's Sheep & Goat Producer Group event. Learn from those already successful in this niche market. Share stories with fellow farmers on the ride to-and-from the facility. This event is free and open to the public, but sheep producers (apprentice to experienced) and livestock operators considering adding sheep and their dairy products to their business bottom lines are encouraged to attend.
