Kansas Sheep Association Starter Flock Program

Submitted by Brian Rees

The Kansas Sheep Association (KSA) Starter Flock Program was initiated with the intent to encourage and assist young people to enter the sheep and wool industries and help sustain this important food and fiber industry and our American culture. Available for Kansas residents between age 12 and 25, it can be a good fit with 4-H members looking to start their own flock. Selected participants will receive up to six ewes (based on breed) purchased by KSA, and will also be provided a list of producers who have volunteered to supply a ram. Applications must be submitted by mail or email by February 24.

For full details and an application form please contact Joe Hobbs, 402-278-0202 or hobsshowlambs@yahoo.com.
