We believe the sheep industry will provide a substantial source of income for Michigan farmers, with proper leadership and research.
We support:
Developing and researching new uses for wool and new convenient lamb products for consumers.
Including lamb prices in market reports.
Researching lethal and non-lethal methods of predator control, such as adoption of a "toxic collar" program.
Funding for an indemnification program for losses from predators.
We urge sheep owners to participate in the National Scrapie Eradication Program.
