Ag Committee Meeting - June 8, 2023
Description
Presentation: Sheep Ranching and Wool Industry
McKamey West Ranch, Merrill and Wendy McKamey
McKamey West Inc. is a family-owned ranch that produces beef, lamb, and wool. The McKamey family has been involved with sheep ranching since the late 1800s. The family started running cattle in the 1950s and currently their animal units are two-thirds cattle and one-third sheep. Merrill and Wendy McKamey will be discussing the business side of running sheep, what the market is doing, some challenges they navigate, and the opportunities for the future.
The Agricultural Committee will foster and promote a better understanding and relationship between the agricultural industry and the community, as well as promoting a strong message of community appreciation for the Ag industry overall.
