Sheep producers from all around the region will converge on Lansing for the 2023 Shepherds Weekend from Friday (1/6) through Sunday (1/8) at the Crowne Plaza Lansing West. It's an opportunity for sheep producers to visit one another and learn about new products and innovations that are affecting their industry.
