Sheep production in KY is growing, both in number of shepherds and head of sheep. More and more people are realizing the potential sheep can bring to their farm, be it a small hobby farm or a large cattle operation. I’ve even spoken to some who have sold their cattle and are moving to sheep.
Being on the Board of Directors for KSWPA has allowed me to speak with many of these shepherds, both old hands and beginners. One thing I have learned through these conversations is that Ky has a great opportunity to become an important part of the American sheep industry.
