A big thank you to Dot Perkins from the UNH Cooperative Extension for sharing her knowledge on current research on the Barber Pole Worm, which sadly, is now found across New Hampshire.  You can download a PDF version of the presentation she gave at our annual meeting, Barber Pole Worm in NH.

If you look just to your left, you'll see two new icons on the page.  The big blue F will bring you to our new Facebook page, and the red P will take you to our Pinterest page.  Please take a few minutes to like us on Facebook and follow us on Pinterest, if you're a social media type of sheep farmer.

Welcome to our new members, as well as to all the folks who have renewed their membership for 2015!  We have 71 current members as of 2/18/15.  Memberships expired November 1, 2014.  Please remember to renew your membership if you haven't already!
