Rare European sheep breeds becoming more common in U.S.; Gotlund sheep in Muskingum County
George Washington's Mount Vernon Livestock Program at the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival had a rare breeds display this month that included some Hog Island Sheep. Hog Island sheep are descended from sheep first brought to Virginia's Hog Island in the 18th century. The isolation and natural selection shaped the sheep population into a distinct breed. The lady at the Mount Vernon display couldn't say for sure if this was a breed of sheep that George Washington had at his farm, but we do know he had sheep because he kept meticulous farm records. He was a statesman, military leader and president, but he was a farmer at heart.

Positivity Overflowing, Devin Moran's Best Is Yet To Come
Devin Moran’s ability as a racer is starting to take after his consistently upbeat nature and personality that doesn’t appear to ever waver no matter the circumstance. The Dresden, Ohio, driver’s victory Saturday on the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series at Fairbury Speedway means more than his $30,000 in event winnings. His fourth overall victory of the season now ties the best start he’s had to a season of his Dirt Late Model career. It would be a career-best five victories if not for a failed tire test that stripped him of Feb. 13’s DIRTcar victory at Volusia Speedway Park in Barberville, Fla.
