The Rural Voice, 1998-06, Page 5Cover
Steve and Tracy Hallam didn't know much about
sheep before they became sheep farmers. Now
they're typical of a new breed of shepherds who
are making a full-time living from producing
Iamb. The
industry is
booming as
Ontario farmers
try to meet the
demand from a
new generation of
immigrants who
have made
Ontario one of
the top Iamb
markets in North
America.

THE MAGAZINE OF THE AGRICULTURAL INDUSTRY
Twenty-five years ago a group of pork industry leaders had a
vision of a show that would showcase the industry in Ontario.
The result was the Ontario Pork Congress in Stratford. It has
played a part in keeping Ontario in the forefront of the industry
in North America. This year the Pork Congress marks the
anniversary with a special celebration.
