SheepThings

Robert Walkersheepthings.com
Robert Walker started with sheep in 2010 and the desire to learn and grow in the sheep industry has brought up questions I am sure everyone has had. This podcast is an opportunity to share conversations with those mentors, breeders, owners, veterinarians, vendors, judges, and people that have provided the support to the sheep industry over the years. Mostly I am interested in listening and learning how others began in the industry with thoughts on the future in whatever that interest, business or passion is, so join me as I continue to learn with “SheepThings!” podcast.
