1st Mountain-Plains Sheep and Goat Conference

I helped make history this past weekend! The mountain-plains sheep and goat conference was a big success and the plans are being drawn up for the next one! We had producers in Greeley, CO from as far away as Missouri and Arizona. We had a crowd of about 100, most of which went into the goat track. It was exciting, nerve racking, stressful, and informative all at the same time. The CSU meats team provided the catering and did an excellent job preparing the lamb during the meals...CSU's mascot was very tasty!!!

After the conference yesterday, I did a little sight seeing in Fort Collins before returning to Montana. I went up into the Poudre River valley and ate lunch near the continental divide. Those folks that live up there in that valley ain't right; all that was missing was the little banjo playing kid from 'Deliverance'.
