(NAFB.com) – The University of Wyoming Sheep Program recently announced the “Sheep Innovation Exchange: Wyoming to New Zealand.” This international program gives Wyoming sheep producers and industry entrepreneurs a chance to gain fresh insights by engaging with global peers who face similar challenges. Exchange participants will travel to New Zealand to explore the country’s renowned sheep industry. For five days, they’ll tour essential industry sites like genetic improvement facilities and value-added lamb and wool marketing operations. “Sometimes, gaining a fresh perspective on challenges and opportunities requires connecting with people who face similar circumstances in other parts of the world,” says Whit Stewart, UW Extension Sheep Specialist. “We intend to foster new ideas and strengthen the future of Wyoming’s sheep industry.” The Sheep Innovators Exchange will take place from July 12-18, 2025. Participants must arrive in New Zealand by July 12, and programmed events begin on July 14. Go to uwagnews.com for information.
