For the past three years I have served on the ADSBS Board I have been motivated by the fact that ADSBS is in the enviable position to propel our breeds and branded Dorper Lamb product into the U.S market as an identifiable and quality protein.
My term on the ADSBS Board of Directors started in January 2020, and everyone knows what happened next, COVID….and crisis management. I believe that the Board was successful in keeping the Society running, given all the unique challenges. I was chosen to lead the Board as President in 2021 and again in 2022. My greatest accomplishments during my leadership include: the development of the ADSBS Strategic Plan, modernizing the ADSBS committees, employing the first Executive Director, implementing a new financial structure, and updating ADSBS policies and procedures.
I would be honored to serve another term on the ADSBS Board of Directors to continue to work for you and expand into what I believe is another avenue for Dorpers to excel: commercial sheep production. Why? Because with a robust commercial Dorper sheep industry we will enjoy a strong sustainable market for our registered Dorper and White Dorper seedstock.
Range management and production agriculture are my passions and I believe that Dorpers fit into my business model and work for me. I am a fulltime rancher and in my own operation I use my Dorper and White Dorper sheep, Spanish goats, Angora goats, and occasionally a few cows to manage native forages. I spent 20 years raising Boer goats however, I chose to leave that industry because the goats were not adaptable to production on a commercial level.
I would like to say that this has been an easy journey as we are fortunate to raise a breed of sheep so adaptable that they thrive across the U.S. in all types of production systems. However, we’ve had our challenges and I believe that we're better for it and have found more opportunity. I would be honored to continue to work for you and continue to move ADSBS progressively forward.
