In this collaborative two-hour presentation, Peter and Nancy will discuss their work in connection with the Navajo Churro breed. Through Peace Fleece, Peter has formed a partnership with Native American sheep ranchers called the Black Mesa Wool Project. The goal is to support these ranchers’ traditional pastoral way of life by working with them to improve their soils and grazing patterns and receive a better price for their wool. Peter is involved in a similar project working with Lakota sheep farmers in South Dakota. Nancy, who serves as vice president and secretary of the Maine Sheep Breeders Association, is working here in Maine—through the Sheep Preservation Project at the University of Utah—to bring back the Navajo Churro from near-extinction. The Churro breed is now present throughout the United States. For more information about the Black Mesa Wool Project, visit www.peacefleece.com.
