Marketing, new feed rations topics at lamb feedlot meeting

Wednesday, November 22, 2006 8:31 AM CST

Ethanol co-product feeds, marketing fed lambs and new lamb food products will be featured at a lamb feedlot meeting on Nov. 30. The meeting is from 7 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. at the Community Center in Ireton, Iowa.

“New ethanol plants are coming on-line in Iowa. Some of these will use new processing technologies that produce new kinds of co-products,” said Dan Morrical, sheep specialist, Iowa State University Extension.

Morrical will discuss the opportunities and challenges in using various ethanol co-product feeds in lamb rations.

Brad Anderson, staff member of research, development and sales at Iowa Lamb Corporation at Hawarden, Iowa, will talk about the lamb meat market and how it affects the price of fed lambs.

“Case-ready meat items and grid marketing are two potential trends for the lamb industry,” Anderson said.

Participants will sample two new lamb meat products - lamb jerky and marinated lamb cubes.

The jerky, produced by an Iowa lamb producer, is a favorite at local farm markets. The marinated lamb cubes, produced by Iowa Lamb, are a popular food item at the Iowa State Fair.

The lamb feedlot meeting is sponsored by ISU Extension, Northwest Iowa Sheep Producers Association, Iowa Sheep Industry Association and Iowa Lamb and Wool Promotion Board.

To register for the meeting, contact Beth Doran, beef field specialist, ISU Extension, at (712) 737-4230. Cost is $10 per person and is due Nov. 27.
