many junior members are able to be a part of some of the top breeders in the industry and I’ve been lucky enough to work with these two. WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE TO YOUTH OR NEW FAMILIES PURCHASING SUFFOLKS? I believe that the Suffolk breed is one of the most versatile breeds out there. There are so many different routes you can take within the Suffolk breed. Another key benefit within the Suffolk organization is that there are so many different opportunities throughout the year to take part in. Some of the key events include, our different shows, our Junior Board of Directors, our webinars we host and so much more! LOOKING TOWARDS THE FUTURE, MAYBE 10 YEARS FROM NOW, WHAT DOES YOUR INVOLVEMENT IN THE SUFFOLK BREED LOOK LIKE? In 10 years, I still plan on being actively involved with the Suffolk breed. Whether it be participating in different committees through the senior board or potentially helping out the Junior board as a coordinator. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LAMB DISH/RECIPE? Lamb Chislic! WHAT IS ONE SHEEP OR SUFFOLK TOPIC YOU’D LIKE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT? More about the history of the Suffolk breed. WHAT IS YOUR MOST MEMORABLE SUFFOLK MOMENT? Not just one moment, but all of the lifelong friends and memories that have been created. WHAT IS ONE TIP OR TRICK YOU WOULD SHARE WITH OTHER YOUTH OR A NEW FAMILY PURCHASING SUFFOLKS? Find an experienced breeder and act as if they are your mentor. There are so many great people within our breed that are more than willing to answer questions throughout the year.
