Questions, questions, questions.

The whole point of this blog is to get out information on agriculture and the industry I'm in, SHEEP! Do you have any questions for me? I know that here in Alberta we are the Beef province. "Triple A Grade Alberta Beef" is a sentence that brings pride to our province. But what about whose left? Pork, Dairy, Poultry, Bee-farming (I can't think of the big name for the keepers of the little bees), and yes sheep too. Is there anything I can say to help clear the air on agriculture? For example... Did you know that some professional tennis rackets use the intestine out of sheep to create the strings? There are so many small things in agriculture that you wouldn't even think about. Think about how milk gets to your fridge... My mom comes from a dairy farming family and my dad is a milkman (yes we are that cool) so I know about a lot of that production as well. Also did you know that a few years ago a man was milking 200 sheep in Southern Alberta? Just know that this blog is a great place for you to come with any questions that you may have. I'll make sure that I find the answer to any questions you have.
Thanks so much for taking the time to read all this and feel free to ask anything or say anything on your mind.
