A Shepherd's Gift

I want to tell you a little about "A Shepherd's Gift" this week. When we started to get into the sheep business a year ago, it was not just because we wanted to raise sheep. Our seed salesman was talking to us one night about how he recently got sheep. We listened to him tell his story, and we really did not know what to think about it. The reason why we started to raise the sheep is because of the "A Shepherd's Gift" foundation. Our sheep have a molecule called GM1 which would help cure Huntington's Disease (HD). Not very many people know about this organization, but I have been to a couple meetings and have tried to get the word out further! I will include a link in the blog that has a short three minute video of a brief description about the organization. We have not had the best news about the organization in the past year, but we got a call about it this weekend and it sounds like they are saving enough money in the lab to start doing test trials. We will be breeding our sheep to get more GM1 molecules, so if the government allows the lab trials to be used in hospitals, they will have enough sheep to keep curing patients!
