Workshops, All Canada Classics contribute to busy yearfor SPANS

摘要

This year has been very busy for the Sheep Producers' Association of Nova Scotia (SPANS) as we have taken on a number of workshops such as parasite identification with Gwyneth Jones, and lamb survival and ewe nutrition workshops with Jonathan Wort from Perennia.We'd like to thank the Sheep Producers of Nova Scotia and the Canadian Co-operative Woolgrowers Ltd. for their generous support and sponsorship of the wool events associated with the recent All Canada Sheep Classic in Truro. The Fleece Competition and Sale during the Classic and the Wool Handling and Evaluation course were both deemed to be quite successful. We were happy to have 26 fleeces entered by 15 flock owners, and we accommodated ram fleece entries for the first time by opening a new class.
