SHEEP SHORTS
‘Sheep Shorts’ are home-grown videos made by SEKSPA members and supporters. The purpose is to share our farm experiences and spread information about raising sheep in the mountains of eastern Kentucky. ‘Sheep Shorts’ are intended to strengthen the SEKSPA network of farm families in our region and to learn from each other.
SEKSPA members and supporters are invited to submit ‘Sheep Short’ videos
on any subject related to your farming activities!
The idea behind ‘Sheep Shorts’ is to provide short video demonstrations of how something is done on YOUR farm. The activity can be simple and routine or it can be unique only to your farming operation. We’re not necessarily looking for fancy productions or professionally made videos- the more amateur they are, the more charming they seem to be! Perhaps you’d like to share how you worked out a solution to a problem related to feeding your sheep, or trimming their hooves, or fencing them in. Feel free to impart words of wisdom or wax philosophical about being a shepherd or shepherdess. We’re especially looking for expressions of the joy and excitement of raising sheep and we greatly encourage the involvement of children and young farmers in producing their own video creations!
For more information about submitting your ‘Sheep Short’ videos, contact us at info@sekspa.com or call 606-312-5264
