Connecticut Sheep Breeders Association, Inc.

OUR MISSION

Our mission is to promote and encourage keeping sheep in Connecticut. The CSBA was formed in 1893, and we have been supporting Connecticut shepherds since that time by educating sheep farmers about issues relevant to raising lamb and wool, and facilitating marketing opportunities.

Mark Russell

I received the sad news that Mark Russell passed away recently.  At his request there was no obituary or services.  Mark held many positions on the Board of Directors and served as President and Vice President and if I remember right he also served a stint as Secretary as well which is probably when he secured our first domain, ctsheep.org, and started up our website many years ago.  He and Deb had a lovely flock of Columbias and used llamas as guardians and eventually sold the sheep to focus on llamas.
