The Southeast Kentucky Sheep Producers Association (SEKSPA) is a 501c3 non-profit made up of sheep farm volunteers who are working to: (1) restore and grow the sheep industry in the 54-Appalachian counties of Kentucky; (2) improve the genetics of the sheep in our region; and, (3) promote lamb consumption in eastern and southeastern Kentucky and beyond. SEKSPA was created to provide leadership, unity, resources, and the transfer of information within the sheep industry in our region. In our first four years of operation, SEKSPA has grown to over 500 members and supporters across the mountain counties. In 2023, we had 18 in-person educational meetings, workshops, field days, and events and served over 600 lamb dinners to our members.
