Montana Sheep Institute

Research Projects

The main goal of the Montana Sheep Institute is to develop and implement methods to facilitate Montana (U.S.) lamb and wool producers to increase their competitiveness in world markets. This will be accomplished by focusing Montana Sheep Institute efforts primarily utilizing sheep grazing as a tool in natural resource management, but includes efforts in animal husbandry, management and marketing system areas necessary for a sustained sheep industry.
