Targhee Starter Flock Update
And the winner is . . . Caleb Pedersen - Lesterville, SD
The USTSA Starter Flock Committee is proud to announce Caleb Pedersen as it’s first recipient of registered Targhee sheep. There were sixteen applicants from six different states. All would have been worthy choices. It was difficult for the committee to narrow it down to five finalists. The five finalists were: Jo Eike, Fargo, OK; Bobbi Jo Kronberg, Forbes, ND; Greg Marchini, Bakersfield; CA; and Karoline Rose, Three Forks, MT. A special booth will be set up at the 2009 Targhee National Show and Sale honoring all of the applicants and our winner, Caleb Pedersen. Please be sure to stop by and see the wonderful essays written by the applicants. Also, impressive were letters of support written by parents and advisors. Truly, the knowledge of the sheep industry, optimism, and strength of character shown by these young people and their families is wonderful!
To read Caleb's winning essay, see page 4 in the June Newsletter.
