Ag Progress Day

Yesterday I was invited to go attend Ag Progress Days up in Rock Springs, PA.  I was able to work the American Lamb Growers Association booth with a great group of people.  I got to meet the Pennsylvania Lamb and Wool Queen and Princess, who are both from Somerset County!  Throughout the day, I made gyros that used lamb meat instead of beef or chicken that many are used to.  At this booth, they also sold lamb sandwiches. Most of all, I got the chance to talk with sheep raisers and hear numerous facts of different things related to sheep.  I also got to hear Ken Soder's stories from when he lived in Montana and raised over 2000 sheep on one ranch.  Did you know that Montana sheep shearer's shear about 135 sheep a day leaving that to one lamb every 3 minutes?!?!  I also got the chance to walk around and look at the different vendor spots. Yesterday was a busy day but a day filled with fun! Thank you to Ken Soders for inviting me for the day!
