The
Montana Sheep Institute (MSI) is a cooperative project
between Montana Wool Growers Association and Montana
State University. The MSI is dedicated to developing
and implementing non–traditional adjustment strategies
that will increase the competitiveness of Montana’s
lamb and wool in the world market. Our goal is to explore
opportunities to increase the utilization of sheep in
weed management programs and improve the profitability

Through this cooperative effort, we strive to utilized sheep grazing as a tool in natural resource management, reduce lamb mortality, and research non–traditional lamb and wool marketing strategies. We hope you enjoy your visit to our website.
