Georgia Sheep 2020 Annual Report Be on the look out! The 2020 Annual Report will be mailed out this week (09/20). It includes highlights from the past 12 months, updates from the Meat and Wool groups, voting information for the Board of Directors and important information about Membership Extensions. Thank you for working with us to promote healthy sheep and successful shepherds.
It's Steve Warner, current president of the Georgia Sheep Association. Steve and a few other Ga Sheep Meat Group members recently visited FoodService Partners (FSP) in Milledgeville. There's a possibility that Ga Sheep and FSP could work together on a few food ventures. Stay tuned.
Did you know? Texels are primarily known for meat production, but as a whole the wool can be just as valuable. For people who like fiber craft, Texel wool can't be beat for felting and needle felting. These pictures are pure organic British Texel wool. Washed, spun and dyed the original old fashion way at an old New York Mill. These Texel Yarn were provided by Beaver Creek Texel Sheep in Georgia. #texelsheep #texelsusa #texelyarn #texelswool Shared by Georgia Sheep member Kenan Davila, Prime Texels Puerto Rico

Have you received a suspicious email from someone supposedly interested in buying a sheep, wool, a lamb … or even a donkey? The request is fraudulent (he doesn't even get the breeds right in some emails) but his aim is serious. He wants your bank account information. We reported a recent phishing emailer (Timio Brook) to our website provider and filed a formal complaint with the Federal Trade Commission. Thank you to the members who let us know this was happening. I found the short (less than 2 minutes) video from the FTC to be very helpful in explaining why it's so important to report fraud. It's worth a listen to. https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/audio-video/video/why-report-fraud
Assaf on board! Are you familiar with the Assaf breed? The Assaf is a dual purpose cross between Mideastern Awassi fat tailed sheep and East Friesian sheep breeds. They originated in Israel in the 1950's and have been considered game changers for dairy sheep producers, particularly in the hot and humid (and parasite-rich) south.
Georgia Sheep member Teresa White (White Horse Manor) recently purchased a breeding group from Karrass Farms. Anyone else have Assaf? Please let us know. |
