IFR Board Director, Dr. Mary-Anne Ost visited with Finnsheep breeders, merchants and crafters during a visit to Helsinki, Finland in May. Dr. Ost spoke in depth with several Finnsheep producers regarding their programs and the the products they produced. Her story is in the June issue of the IFR newsletter.
Dr. Ost is the third IFR Board member to visit Finland within the last seven months. Last fall, the IFR President and IFR Secretary also visited the country and spent a week meeting with Finnsheep breeders and representatives. Finland has significantly improved their national breed through targeted programs to insure the long-term use and preservation of the breed.
Thank you Dr. Ost for your outstanding representation of the IFR!
