From the desk of ACA President Bryan Vining
Hello, everyone, from the sub tropical region of Southeast Wyoming. We have had one of the mildest winters on record, which has made it a fairly favorable lambing season for Gina and I (she has only had to break ice out of a few water buckets this year.) Thank you for all of your support as I complete my five years on the Executive Board. It has been a rewarding experience and I think our organization is headed in the right direction. Please consider volunteering and bringing some new ideas to the table. Bryan Vining and I would like to congratulate all the Corriedale exhibitors at the grandson, Todd National Show at Louisville this year in both the open and junior shows. Owen Hamlton. In the junior show the Champion Ram went to Ellen Peters and the Champion Ewe was shown by Cody Morris. In the open show, Joana Friesz had the Champion Ram and Wolf Brothers had the Champion Ewe. It looks like we have a busy show season this year with the 2017 National Corriedale Show and Sale to be held May 11-13. The junior show will kick off Thursday evening at 7 p.m. with the open show starting at 9 a.m. Friday morning. The sale will be held on Saturday at 10 a.m. This year we are happy to announce a new natural ewe class and wool show. The class will be broken into two categories: Natural Ewe Class 1. Ewes with a minimum of 1” staple length and no more than 2” staple length. 2. Ewes with over a 2” staple. All wool on the ewe must be same length. Ewes may be tipped or fuzzed off, but not blocked. No coloring or painting of ewe. Hand trimming of tags around legs and dock area is acceptable. Washing legs is optional. First and second place ewes in each class will be qualified to compete in the Senior Champion drive. We will also be adding a Natural Ewe Lamb Class in the junior show for ewes born 1/1/2017 or later. The same rules will apply and the wool length will be its current lamb fleece. Wool Class As far as the wool show, we will also break that into two categories; covered and uncovered fleeces with a ewe and ram class in each category. Fleeces need to be sheared in 2016 or 2017 with no more than a 14 month staple. Bring fleeces on show day for judging and they will be released on sale day. Fleeces can be sold. Indicate if the fleece is for sale with a price written on the entry tag. The wool show will be held, May 12 at 8:30 a.m. If anyone has nominations for the Guy L. Green, or the Guthrie Award, (Outstanding Breeder of the year), please contact Marcia Craig. As always, safe travels and hope to see everyone this summer. President Bryan Vining

Executive Board Meeting Tuesday, June 21, following open show Missouri State Fairgrounds Sedalia, Missouri
The meeting was called to order by President Ryan Craig with the following board members present: Ryan Craig, Bryan Vining, Joana Friesz, Jim Kin, Gary Heibertshausen and Marcia Craig. Secretary’s Report The minutes of the executive board meeting from the annual meeting in 2015 were accepted as printed. The financial report was distributed showing a yearend decrease of $434. The current balance reported to date was $13,657. The minutes of the 2015 annual meeting and the financial report were approved as presented. 2016 National Show and Sale There was a discussion regarding the location of the 2017 National Show and Sale. Items taken into consideration were timing
of shows, availability of transportation throughout the U.S. A proposal was made to host elsewhere so President Ryan Craig will contact that individual and this can be considered if we receive a written proposal with more details. The Executive Board feels that the Ohio Classic Sale in May does offer many significant assets and the sale averages have remained high. Comeback Class The payout for the 2016 Comeback Yearling Ewe Class will be 1st place-$175 plus $25 buyers credit; 2nd place-$100 plus a $25 buyers credit; 3rd place-$50 plus $25 buyers credit; 4th place- $25 plus 25 buyers credit; and 5th place-$25 plus $25 buyers credit; and 6th place-$25 plus $25 buyers credit. This is a total of $525 for our Comeback Class. Awards 2016 Kaitlyn Stillion, Ohio was selected as the 2016 Outstanding Junior Shepherd. Recipients of the 2016 scholarships

Past Presidents, State & Area Directors Meeting Wednesday, June 22-10:00 a.m. Farm Credit Building Sedalia, Missouri
President Ryan Craig called the meeting to order and welcomed those in attendance. Secretary’s Report The minutes from the 2015 Past Presidents, State and Area Director’s meeting were approved as listed in the 2016 spring issue of the Extra. The financial report was accepted as presented. 2016 National Show and Sale Different locations for the 2017 National Show and Sale were discussed. The decision was made to let the final location be determined by the Executive Board at a later date. All items will be taken into consideration to offer the best location for our members to benefit from this sale. 2018 National Show and Sale It was suggested we consider doing our banquet on Tuesday night and then have
our junior activities on Wednesday during this event in Missouri. This would allow for our breeders to watch the Supreme Drive and participate in Wednesday activities at the fairgrounds. One of the reasons we do a Wednesday night meeting and banquet is to encourage buyers to come in the night before the sale and participate in these events. We also need to have our Past President’s and State Director’s Meeting prior to the Annual Meeting and Banquet so it would have to be moved up to Tuesday also. We appreciate any comments from our membership regarding this issue. Feel free to contact your board members or email the office at amcorr@frontier.com to share your thoughts on this change. Corriedales-Trimming Thank you goes out to Ryan Craig and Lacie Hoffman for demonstrating basic fitting procedures and answering questions after the junior show Natural Class The future of Corriedales was discussed and it is the general feeling that people want an easier project so the introduction of a natural class at our National Sale would encourage more participation and highlight the dual purpose of our breed. Many suggestions came up during this lengthy discussion – a slick sheared class with fleece evaluated also off the animal similar to what has been done in the past; a market lamb class; using a new scorecard

Part of my college requirements here at The Ohio State University ATI include a summer internship. This will keep me very busy, but I hope to see everyone this summer at some of the shows. Lastly, I would like to thank The Ohio Corriedale Association for providing the starter flock program to people like myself. This made a huge impact on my life.

From the Junior President’s Desk Hello all! I hope all have had a safe and fruitful winter and lambing season. This has been my first year I haven’t been home for the entirety of lambing due to going back to college, but I got my full dose during my time home. As the spring lambing season is drawing to a close, this marks the beginning to what I know will be another successful and exciting show season. This means the 2017 National Corriedale Show and Sale is rapidly approaching. I hope everyone has made arrangements to make the trek to Eaton once again for another year of competition and fun. This year’s show and sale will be May 11 through May 13. The junior show will be held on Thursday, the open show will be Friday, and the sale will be Saturday. I look forward to seeing everyone to kick off the show season and to catch up with everyone about the events of the year! See you in Eaton! Collin Peters Page 25

the mill we anticipated processing our own wool and the wool of other small scale sheep producers in the area. Quickly we found out that not only sheep producers were interested in our custom processing services but also llama and alpaca producers, too. We are always up for the challenge and have even processed fibers such as dog, bison, yak, mohair, cashmere, and even raccoon. We did however draw the line at skunk! Our son, Nathaniel, has been committed to the Corriedale breed since he was seven. He saw his first Corriedale at that age and was adamant that was the breed he wanted. From that first ewe his flock has grown over the years to now encompass 15 ewes. Because Corriedales are a truly dual purpose breed, we knew we had to develop a market for the wool. The mill has afforded us the opportunity to utilize our fleeces in a manner that is profitable for the farm. Corriedales have provided us with a wool clip that is in high demand because of its luster and soft handle. Fiber artists seek us out at fiber festivals and farmer’s markets because of the high quality of the Corriedale wool. Twist Of Fate Spinnery and Supply has expanded its services and offers an array of products for fitting and showing and also offers sharpening services. The mill is located in Portland Conn. and the supply trailer travels to shows around the northeast. Visitors are always welcome so if you ever find yourself in Connecticut please give Rick a call at 860-759-9334 or visit us at our web site twistoffatespinnery.com.

Director Profile Hello from North-Central Ohio. My name is Jim Kin and I was elected to the Executive Board at Sedalia in 2014. My wife, Oleta, and I are parents of four children. We have three daughters, Jamie, Dawn and Krysta, as well as a son, Scott. We are proud to be the grandparents of nine grandchildren and another on the way. All of our children have exhibited at the county and state fair levels. Our two oldest grandsons have also started showing at our local county fair. The Corriedale breed has always been a part of my life. My father, Al, and his brothers, started raising Corriedales as 4-H and FFA projects. They purchased their first ewes in 1944 and have continued ever since. Over the many years the flock has taken part in shows successfully from coast to coast. From 1971-1991 the operation held production sales every other year. One of the sales had sheep sell to 14 different states, as well as Canada. I have been thankful to have served as president of the Ohio Corriedale Club. My father is also a past American Corriedale Association President and board member. Our operation currently lambs out approximately 50 ewes. At one time we lambed as many as 230 ewes. I also operate a grain farm along
with my brother, Phil, and our dad. I can without a doubt say that my association with the breed has allowed me to meet a lot of great people over the years. It has also made it possible to travel all across different parts of the country. It has been an honor to be selected to this post and help advance the Corriedale Breed. I am looking forward to seeing many of you at the upcoming National Show and Sale in Eaton. Thank You.
