This month's newsletter from Premier contained several articles that I think many of you would be interested. Rather than copying the articles here, it would be better for you to view the newsletter in your own browser.

Stan Potrantz (Premier's owner) describes what he sees for the 2006 lamb market and lists the factors be believes will contribute to continuing high prices for lamb. Dan Morrical of Iowa State University wrote an interesting article about Alternative Feeds for Sheep. One of the feeds his discusses is dried distillers grains (DDGS). I can attest to how much the sheep like these grains. I brew my own beer and always give the malted barley grain to the sheep after I've boiled it into the wort. It is sweet and the sheep regard it like candy. Okay, I confess, the recipe for salted nut bars at the end of the newsletter looks pretty good too. Maybe I'll bake up a batch this weekend.
