So after a short break, we decided to do something different with the start of our season 2.  Sara Gibson reached out to us and wanted to ask some basic questions as a newcomer to sheep industry.  We convinced her to come on air and let’s discuss for everyone to listen.  Not hardly as basic questions as we were expecting as you can tell Sara has done her homework.  Hope you enjoy!

Probably didn't plan on having enough left of our conversation to have a 3rd episode with Jim but after listening a couple times I think this episode makes the cut.  Pretty in depth discussion regarding crossbreeding, terminal sires, etc.  Enjoy this episode with Dr James Morgan.

Finally pinned down Jim Morgan to spend some time with us for make a couple episodes for our Podcast.  In this episode we will learn about genetics and some cross breeding and carcass stuff and just about anything that pops up.  Enjoy this episode with Dr James Morgan.

Finally pinned down Jim Morgan to spend some time with us for make a couple episodes for our Podcast.  In this episode we will learn about Jim's youth and growing up in Kansas, through his education days to getting back to AR where he lives now.  Enjoy this episode with Dr James Morgan.

From the moment we told a few people about the idea of our podcast, Dr Charles Parker of Ohio was the name everyone mentioned to have as a guest.  His contribution to the sheep industry over the last 60+ yrs is immeasurable.

Dr Charles Parker is one of three honorary members of Katahdin Hair Sheep International. Dr Parker is also one of five key individuals who worked and collaborated to establish Katahdin Hair Sheep International in 1985. Dr Parker has had an influential career beyond his role with Katahdins. A few of his other accomplishments include Emeritus Professor and Emeritus Department Chairperson of the Animal Science Department at The Ohio State University and Emeritus Director of the US Sheep Experiment Station in Dubois, Idaho which is part of USDA ARS (US Dept of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service). Recently, Dr Charles Parker received the McClure Silver Ram Award from the American Sheep Industry Association which recognizes individuals from the professional community that have provided exceptional service and leadership to the sheep industry.
