Sheep Industry Leaders Plan Ten Year Growth Strategy
Meads and major sheep groups convened at Winrock Perms near Morrilton Arkansas on June 22 23 to craft a ten year plan aimed at reversing a production decline. They urged an 80 percent breeding ewe increase by 1906 and outlined goals such as a 250 percent rise in replacement ewes a 26 percent jump in lambs weaned and a 15 percent gain in average market weight per lamb. The plan relies on predator management advances and proposes a unified industry voice through consolidating organizations and stronger communications. It also calls for a national predator conference the formation of a domestic and international sheep market framework and regionally limited sheep and lamb auctions. An international coordinating council for sheep and goats would support research and training in arid and subtropical regions.
