2023 Annual Meeting was a Success!

Posted on October 29, 2023October 29, 2023 by Crystal Criswell

The 2023 Annual Meeting for St. Croix Hair Sheep Breeders was held on October 28th. Twenty-two (22) members attended. All but one director participated. We are very pleased with the turnout!

Your Board of Directors has been very busy this year and we were excited to share a recap of our activities, a financial report, and current projects. Jaye Ray from The Livestock Conservancy, who is our new registrar, provided a full demonstration of how to use the Grassroots System to manage your flock. We spent the last portion of the meeting in a Question & Answer Session with Jaye and the Board of Directors.
