Sheep Production – Entrepreneurship Placement- sponsored by Bimdeia, Inc.
Jaclyn Dingels of the Redwood Valley FFA Chapter in Redwood Falls Minnesota has been raising Hampshire and Suffolk sheep for the past seven years. Her flock has grown from five leased ewes to 52 owned ewes and a partial interest in two leased rams. Developing a marketing strategy to sell her sheep throughout the country, she has guaranteed quality by raising her own replacement ewes instead of purchasing them in order to reduce the potential for disease transmission. Dingels is supported by her parents Pat and Steve and her FFA advisor Jeremy Daberkow.
