This combination will increase local sheep production and more profit margin for the producers. The topics and speakers are: Sheep Farming Profitability - Linda Coffey (Livestock Specialist, NCAT), Sheep Market Outlook - Jennifer Lutes (Ag. Specialist, MU), Why You Should Eat Lamb - David Brown (Livestock Specialist, MU) and Lamb-Cut Demo - MU Value Added Meat Team.
