And lastly, I urge all shepherds to Vote "YES" in the American Lamb
Referendum through 2/27/08

Voting on the lamb referendum is underway at county Farm Service Agencies
(FSA) around the country during the month of February.
If we don't promote our own product, who will? Vote 'yes' on the lamb
referendum to continue the work of the American Lamb Board and to continue
the promotion of U.S. lamb!
