Ranchers Applaud U.S. Senate's Confirmation of Bernhardt As Deputy Secretary of Interior

Jul 26, 2017

Ethan Lane, the National Cattlemen's Beef Association's Executive Director, Federal Lands, and Executive Director of the Public Lands Council today released the following statement in response to the U.S. Senate's confirmation of David Bernhardt to be Deputy Secretary of the Interior:

"One of any Administration's most important jobs is to staff key positions with knowledgeable, experienced, and top-notch personnel, and those words describe David Bernhardt perfectly. The Administration deserves credit for nominating him, the Senate deserves credit for confirming him, and America's ranchers can't wait to start working with him to become even better stewards of our nation's public and private lands.

"Hopefully the White House and Senate will be able to build on this momentum to fill many more vacant senior administration offices in the near future."

Video: You Be The Judge: Evaluating 8 Breeding Rams!

It's time for some honest feedback here at Ewetopia Farms! Today, we’re showing you all eight rams we used for breeding this year. Instead of just presenting them, we thought it would be fun to create a “Ram Report Card” — where we point out both their strengths and areas for improvement.

But here’s the twist: you be the judge! In the comments, let us know what you like about each ram and what you think could be improved. No ram is ever perfect, but every one of them brings something valuable to the flock. By sharing perspectives, we all learn more about what to look for in good breeding stock.

At Ewetopia Farms, we raise registered Suffolk and Polled Dorset sheep, focusing on high-quality genetics, structure, and friendly temperaments. Evaluating breeding rams is part of the bigger picture of building stronger flocks — and we’re excited to share the process with you.
