#30 MICHIGAN SHEEP INDUSTRY

We believe with proper leadership and research the sheep industry will provide a substantial source of income for Michigan farmers. We strongly support the sheep industry in Michigan. We urge:

• Increased development of new uses of wool and new consumer convenient lamb products.
• Research into lethal and non-lethal methods of predator control as they can be applied in Michigan.
• All owners of sheep participate in the Federal Scrapie Eradication Program.
• Continuation of a wolf, and the reinstituting of a coyote, indemnification program by the Michigan Department of Agriculture.
• Adoption of a "toxic collar" program for use in controlling predator damage.
