Sheep farming potential and records in Pennsylvania’s Lancaster County
Lancaster County sheep producer Herr stresses detailed records and strong management as keys to profitability. He cites good fencing, dog control, shelter, and attentive lambing care, noting southeastern Pennsylvania offers top lamb markets but many local flocks rely on other enterprises, risking weaker management. He highlights Tramisol as a breakthrough wormer and urges focus on breed age, ewe productivity, and precise record keeping to improve farm income. The article also notes the upcoming Ephrata Adult Farmer Picnic on August 29 with reservations due by August 23.
