IFR Annual Meeting a Success

10/26/2015

0 Comments

 
IFR members attended the 2015 meeting in the beautiful mountains of Washington state.  Solace Farm served as the host site and members were treated to a very special sight.  Solace Farm has a black based, English Blue patterned ewe!  While this pattern has been confirmed in Finland and suspected in North America, this ewe is the first one reported and viewed by our board members who were able to confirm the pattern.  In this instance, the pattern confirmation was fairly simple as the ewe is only carry one allele for pattern.  

The meeting was educational, fun and highly social!  Members were able to hear presentations about the IFR Breed Improvement Program (highly increased the desirability of the breed; many participating members have waiting lists for program graduates); Parasite Management; Soil and Pasture Management; and Marketing Finnsheep Products.
