| Message from our president We need everyone. All too often people in leadership positions try to make things ultra complicated. I suppose they link complicated with intelligence. I prefer to keep things simple and precise. We need everyone. Our industry is too small to survive without everyone coming together. This includes producers (market, purebred and commercial), fiber enthusiasts, feed dealers and nutritionists, university personnel, extension leaders, show ring junkies, business marketers, shearers, lamb processing plants, lamb buyers, supply dealers, auctioneers and sale managers, forage experts, and the list could go on and on. If I left out a group that you feel is important to the sheep industry, please let me know and I will be sure to add them as well. Why? Because we need everyone. My number one goal during my tenure as President of the Indiana Sheep Association is to bring all aspects of our industry closer so we are working together as a strong, cohesive unit. During the past several years of serving on the ISA board of directors I have heard comments such as “ISA doesn’t offer anything for me”, or “I don’t like the way ISA is ran”. Now is the time to step up to the plate and make a difference. Share with me your visions of how the ISA can better serve not only your needs but the needs of the entire industry. As former Indianapolis Colts coach Tony Dungy would say, “No excuses, no explanations”. We need everyone. Mike Crowder President |

| Our mission... The Indiana Sheep Association is a non-profit organization that exists to serve, support and advance the Indiana sheep industry and Indiana agriculture. |
|
| About our organization... The present Indiana Sheep Association was originally founded as the Indiana Wool Growers Association in 1876. The Indiana Sheep Association is one of the oldest livestock organizations in Indiana. The unification effort by early members indicates tremendous wisdom to realize the collective efforts of many can often accomplish what the best singular efforts of one cannot. ISA…Bringing Indiana’s sheep industry together Since 1876.
