While summer usually signals a slow down in lambing for most of us, other events of interest pop up at the IFR! This past spring has seen the arrival of several interestingly colored Finnsheep lambs! Currently referred to as "Red Cream," these lambs are being genetically reviewed by our genetic specialist team. Photos have recently been sent to our members for review.
All members have received the latest USDA/APHIS Scrapie Program Updates so all IFR members participating in the program can make any necessary changes. The IFR Breed Improvement Program has allowed breeders to seriously pursue full scrapie resistance in their Finnsheep flocks! Many IFR members now have scrapie resistant genetics in their flocks, preserving their livestock investment and the health of their flock!
