I went to Ohio Sheep Day in Powell yesterday. I took a display for the Bluefaced Leicester Union that promoted the BFL ram for use in a commercial crossbreeding program. The ASI Regional Genetics Conference was being held at the same time, so it seemed the ideal time to have a display there. The day's program centered on using genetics to improve your flock. Dr David Thomas, Dr Kreg Leymaster, and Dr David Notter were the speakers - representing the top sheep geneticists in the country. I really enjoyed the program, and talking with people who were interested in learning more about the BFL.
