Mexican farm tour

July 2007 -- Farm tours were part of the World Sheep Congress in Queretaro, Mexico in 2007. There was a choice as to which farm to visit. I chose hair sheep (of course). Katahdin. We visited "El Gavillero Shangrila," a Katahdin stud in Tequisquiapan, about an hour from the conference headquarters, but still in the state of Querétaro. They had about 600 ewes in semi-confinement.
