As many of you have discovered, we haven't been tending the Ranch. We slipped away for the Seventh World Congress on Coloured Sheep held in Canela City, RS, Brazil.  We were fortunate enough to spend a month in Brazil. We attended the Expointer, an international fair produced by the State of Rio Grand de Sul.

 This conference is sponsored every five years in a different country.

We are back now ready to serve you.  Pat shopping at the Fair.
