Welcome to the UK Sheep Program
To meet needs of target audiences, programs vary from tradition to cutting edge. Ewe Profit Schools, initiated in 1977, offer hands-on, day-to-day, experience and training for new and developeding sheep producers. Winter Lambing and Shearing schools provide more intensive educational opportunities. Sheeprofit Day, a nationally recognized field day, has been attended by sheep producers from the state and region for 33 years.
