DSANA held its 3rd virtual symposium on November 9 and 10, 2022. Attendees received insights into improving their dairy sheep operations and had the chance to connect with fellow producers. We hope to return to an in-person gathering for our next symposium in November 2023.

Videos of the Symposium are now available free to DSANA members!
