The Livestock Marketing Information Center, in partnership with the American Sheep Industry Association (ASI) and American Lamb Board, is surveying sheep producers about production costs and operating expenses.

The information will help develop industry benchmarks that producers can use to compare their costs and returns with regional and national averages and find ways to improve efficiency. Participation is voluntary, and individual responses will remain confidential.

The survey takes about 10 minutes to complete and is open through Nov. 30. Results are expected to be presented at the ASI convention in January 2027.

Producers can participate in the survey at tinyurl.com/pbmkz7zh.
