Pipestone Plans Sheep for Profit School in July

 

Mark your calendar and join us for the 2023 Pipestone Lamb and Wool Program’s Sheep for Profit School, which will be held on July 12-15 in Pipestone, Minnesota. This will be the 12th course offering with 218 past participants from 24 different states and Canada completing the course. The Sheep for Profit School is a professional management and business school for the sheep industry. The purpose of the school is to help producers improve sheep management skills; increase the profitability of sheep operations and form relationships in the business. The school will be intense and combine lectures, group discussions, and visits to outstanding Pipestone area sheep operations. Expert instructors with diverse and practical sheep experience will help producers define their vision and build a practical plan to achieve goals. Enrollment in the school is limited to create an ideal learning environment and allow for one-on-one advising.
