Title: National Lamb Day
Post by: Lise on Jan 27 07 04:03
Hey, if the Kiwis can declare a National Lamb Day for themselves, I don't see why we can't rally for a Russ' Goats Appreciation Day.

 WELLINGTON, New Zealand - New Zealanders' love affair with sheep gained official recognition Friday when the agriculture minister declared Feb. 15 "National Lamb Day." New Zealand has 4 million human inhabitants and 60 million sheep.



 Agriculture Minister Jim Anderton suggested New Zealanders had no reason to be embarrassed about their sheep population, and said Lamb Day would mark the 125th anniversary of the first shipment of frozen meat from New Zealand to London.

 "We hope all New Zealanders will recognize this meat industry milestone and mark it by enjoying lamb for dinner on Feb. 15, to celebrate 125 years of meat exports," Anderton said.
