The Crooks describe their sheep operation, starting as orchard mowers twelve years ago and gradually converting two thirds to registered animals. They now have about 32 ewes and sell most lambs privately as finished meat while the children Shelby and Anin exhibit at fairs. The remaining animals are marketed through the Equity lamb pool in Monroe.
Master shepherds Crooks run a two monthly pool grading 450 to 500 animals from up to 90 miles away, shipping most lambs by semis to Detroit. They plan February lambing, August ewe flushing, September ram introductions, and October replacements, aiming to market lambs at 4 to 6 months while managing costs of 26 per ewe annually and 29 cents per lamb day.
Samuel J. Cornelius, an aide to Agriculture Secretary John R. Block, has been appointed to lead a new office of advocacy and enterprise within the Agriculture Department.
The Roembke family of Wisconsin report completion of lambing with only a few stragglers at the Wisconsin Sheep Cooperative convention. They breed for January and early February lambing to capture higher market prices and maximize growth for show stock. Mrs. Roembke notes plans to shift to later lambing as the show season winds down, though she sees little difference for the flock.
At the Northeast Wisconsin Woodland Owners Conference attorney Larry Jeske described the revised trespass act as a civil offense with fines from zero to 1000 dollars and a 125 dollar bond. Land must be posted with 11 by 11 signs and engaged land may be marked by fence or witness notes, with owners advised to report incidents to authorities.
