Mid-States Hair Sheep Cooperative

Welcome to the Mid-States Hair Sheep Cooperative

Welcome to the Mid-States Hair Sheep Cooperative! We hope you are here because you own hair sheep of any breed or plan to purchase some, want more information on the co-op, and would like to network with like-minded people. Our members actively share and learn from each other about sheep production, marketing, breeding, feeding healthcare and seed stock opportunities for different breeds of hair sheep.

One of the co-op’s main focuses is marketing—connecting with buyers and selling sheep! We currently hold two breeding stock sales each year in Nebraska and hope to add stock sales in other states in the future . Our members work together to combine loads of lambs and sell directly to packers.

We all want to produce and sell quality lambs! Our shared knowledge and experience in all aspects of production help our members succeed. We are looking forward to meeting you!

There are many benefits to being a member of the Mid-States Hair Sheep Cooperative.

The Co-op holds a minimum of two Breeding Stock Sales each year. Participating members receive a discount on commission.
We hold at least one producer hosted Field Day each year. Members are invited to visit a farm and see what they do, as well as listen to speakers and get hands-on instruction in many different areas of hair lamb production.
We have begun a Youth Shepherd Program. This program will help youth obtain their first hair sheep ewes from our network of producers. And do it annually!
As a member you will also receive 6 issues each year of our producer written magazine, The Mid-States Hair Sheep Times. This newsletter is packed full of information you need on topics including flock health. ewe and lamb nutrition, parasite control, disease prevention, and vaccination protocol.
