First American Sheep
improve sheep production, pro
ducts and profitability. The high
attendance and enthusiastic parti
cipation during the four-day prog
ram of meetings and informational
sessions reflects the strong com
mitments by producers and indivi
duals from related segments of the
sheep industry to work more close
ly together to achieve common
goals.
A primary issue discussed dur
ing annual meetings of the Nation
al Wool Growers Association,
National Lamb Feeders Associa
tion and American Sheep Produc
ers Council was consolidation of
the three organizations. Each orga
nization voted to further explore
the concept.
The objectives of consolidation
are to conserve limited resources
and improve program effective
ness. The concept was developed
by producer leaders at a recent
industry long-range planning
conference.
Following approval to explore
the consolidation concept, organi
zation presidents, Bill Pfluger
(NWGA), Edgar Olson (ASPC),
and Richard Drake (NLFA)
selected an 11-member Industry
Consolidation Task Force to deve
lop a consolidation plan. Don
Meike from Kaycee, Wyo. was
selected as task force chairman.
Other members will be announced
following notification.
The task force will address the
merging issue over the coming
year. During this period, prelimin
ary proposals will be presented for
review by local, state and national
organizations. Recommendations
will be presented for consideration
at the next industry convention in
January 1989.
During business meetings of
industry organizations, 1988 offic
ers were elected. ASPC officers
