The Fall issue of The Rambler is posted!

The Rambler – Fall 2023

The 2023 United Suffolk Sheep Association Annual Meeting will be virtual via Zoom. The board decided to move forward with a virtual annual meeting again this year as they received positive feedback from the membership after last year’s meeting, support through the Needs Assessment and feels it’s the best way to allow all members of the association to participate.

We encourage all members to join us on Monday, November 27th at 7:30pm central via Zoom. Please note you do not need a computer to join, you can call in!! Be sure to save this connection to join – this will also be posted on the USSA website – www.suffolks.org.

This group of Dec. and Jan. ewe lambs have been exposed to a ram for 3 months. They just came off pasture and are ready for a trip to a new home. All the NSIP numbers and scan data are available on our website www.mintgoldranch.com on the ewes for sale page. They all are registered and RR/NN. Their dams have been solid producers for me. Price is $550 ea. or $2000 for the group.

A video is on the Mint Gold Ranch Facebook page as well.
