In conjunction with the American Sheep Industry Association (ASI) and the American Lamb Board (ALB), the Livestock Marketing Information Center (LMIC), is conducting a producer survey to collect sheep enterprise costs and production data directly from producers.
The survey will generate industry benchmarks and economic insights that help producers compare their operations to regional and national returns, identify opportunities to improve efficiency, and make more informed management decisions.
The survey results will also support the development of more accurate and representative sheep industry economic benchmarks for producers, industry leaders, and researchers. Complete the survey by November 30, 2026. Results will to presented at the ASI Convention in January 2027.
Complete the survey now. >> https://colostate.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3gSEMaDIZJXrQhM
