Howard Wyman Sheep Industry Leadership School applications due April 1
The American Lamb Board is thrilled to sponsor the 36th Annual National Lamb Feeders Association Howard Wyman Leadership School. The deadline to apply is April 1. This year’s event is scheduled for July 9 to 13 in Columbus, Ohio. Participants will explore the Ohio sheep industry, visiting several lamb producers, feedlots and barns; live processing, ultrasound and discussions about lamb round out the agenda.
The 5-day program offers great information and is designed to highlight a cross-section of the sheep industry, especially for up-and-coming industry leaders.
The school is named for NLFA organizer Howard Wyman and emphasizes the feeding, marketing, harvesting and merchandising of lamb and lamb products.
“The Howard Wyman Leadership School is a great way for young producers to gain valuable production information and to meet other producers, feeders and industry specialists," says ALB Chairman Peter Camino.”
Attendees must be at least 20 years of age. The $250 fee covers lodging, meals and tour expenses. Some individual transportation will be required. Application is free, with the fee due upon acceptance.
The application for this year’s school is available on the NLFA website at bit.ly/3J6kx2x.
