American Lamb Referendum Approved

Last Friday, the U.S. Department of Agriculture announced the continuation of the Lamb Promotion, Research and Information Order.
Of the 3,490 valid ballots cast, 80 percent favored the program. Additionally, those who favored the continuation of the program accounted for 84 percent of the total sheep production voted. This referendum required a majority vote in each count to be approved.
“This is an important success sheep producers can add to the strong markets and enthusiasm the industry has enjoyed in recent years,” commented Peter Orwick, American Sheep Industry Association (ASI) executive director.
