- 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 are in the planning stages of a Beginning Youth Shepherd Program. This program will help youth obtain their first hair sheep ewes from our network of producers. And do it annually!
- We are also starting a Mentoring Program. We pride ourselves on sharing knowledge and want to help each new shepherd become a successful experienced shepherd, so we will have mentoring available to those that need help.
