CWGA Holds Annual Meeting

September 15, 2004

September 2004 -- The Colorado Woolgrowers Association held its annual meeting July 22-24, 2004, in Frisco, Colo. Key topics included wolf-management planning in the state, discussion on animal identification and the American Lamb Board and a terrific on-site demonstration by Colorado State University on the Sheep Safety & Quality Assurance program regarding proper injection sites and techniques. Under the SSQA program, producers and feeders saw first hand the impact on meat quality from improper injection sites. Lambs slaughtered that morning had been injected up to 30 days in advance so that convention attendees could view the impact and see why certain locations in the animal are the most effective.
