The National Lamb Feeders Association is accepting applications for the Howard Wyman Sheep Industry Leadership School, which is from June 19th-22nd. The school starts on Sunday, June 19, with a meet-and-greet at the hotel in Greely before the busy week kicks off. Monday, the students will travel to Brush, Colorado, to tour the Colorado Lamb Processors facility, followed by multiple feedlot tours. The day ends with a tour of the Eldon Mars Dairy and a lamb dinner at the Eaton Country Club. Tuesday will be more in the classroom, with presentations on marketing options for lambs, American Sheep Industry Association programs, and plenty of time for group discussion on issues and challenges of marketing options. The school finishes up on Wednesday morning and offers a time to ask questions to sheep industry leaders and school presenters.

The deadline to apply is April 29, and for more information, visit the NLFA's Website to learn more.
