“I was so impressed with the youth programming. I was prepared to tag team watching our kids with my husband and attending the educational sessions. Instead, all three of our kids stayed fully engaged in the youth programming and were so proud with the knowledge and friendships gained. It was a win for everyone. For example, my eldest surprised everyone when she won the livestock skillathon, for her age division, at our State Fair. She got her confidence and drive by being part of the youth track at the Suffolk Event.” -Katie Ceroll, South Dakota

The event brought together producers, educators, and industry leaders from across the country, and the depth of expertise shared throughout the summit was exceptional. I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to the United Suffolk Sheep Foundation for providing the travel grant that made my attendance possible. The Foundation’s commitment to investing in the education and development of its producers speaks volumes about the strength and character of the people who make up this organization.” -Derek Miller, West Virginia 121
