NAMSS Educational Display

The NAMSS display table as photographed at the recent
Michigan Sheep Breeders Assoc. ~ Shepherds Weekend

I finally have a good picture of our North American Mule Sheep Society display table after all these years!
Many thanks to Bill Duffield of 'Codan Suffolks', ONT, Canada for the photo.

The table was located just outside the lecture room doors so everyone attending the MSBA event stopped by to look it over and picked up items for further reading, as evidenced by the fact that the materials had to be replenished several times.

One of the lectures given by Dr. Thomas talked about utilzing a 3-way cross (aka ~ 3-Tier breeding system) for commercial sheep production. So having the NAMSS Mule Sheep display right outside in the hallway helped get the message across about utilizing the 3-Tier Breeding System for grass fed lamb production.

The display contains issues of the 'Mule Sheep News' (present & past), the 3-Tier informative trifold, copies of our 'members list', as well as a NAMSS membership application form.

There were also several display folders:

~ One that covered the Eblex system for selecting breeding stock and grading carcasses for optimum returns.

~ Another one was Mark Lelli's presentation talk on the 3-Tier system and how to utilize the Bluefaced Leicester.

~ The third one contains copies of some of the recent articles and publications from national and international newsletters and magazines about the NAMSS and Mule Sheep.
