ASI Executive Board Meeting Announcement

October 13, 2006 - The executive board of the American Sheep Industry Association (ASI) will be holding its fall meeting in Denver, Colo., on Oct. 27-28, 2006.

With the approval to implement a Livestock Risk Protection-Lamb (LRP-Lamb) pilot project, David Bossman, a member of the product's development team, will be discussing with the board the next steps in the development process. There is a long list of things that need to be completed before a product is ready for sale, according to Bossman.
