    This is an important request from the Executive Director of the Canadian Sheep Federation, Jennifer Fleming. As the body responsible for overseeing the Canadian Sheep Identification Program, the CSF reviews the program on an annual basis. This June the Board is having a semi-annual meeting in Newfoundland, at which time, along with many other issues they will be reviewing the plan. In order to ensure that the CSIP is meeting the needs of producers, it is VITAL, that we receive your input. The BCSF is your representative at this meeting and in order to insure that your representative Ron Hennecker can accurately present your views on this important issue, please be sure to take a few minutes to answer these questions. If you need more room please attach more pages. Please return your completed questionnaire to: BCSF Adminstrator and Newes editor Holly Hill Farm Penny Stapleton 360 Westwood Rd.
