The document discusses marketing lamb and mutton to ethnic consumers. It describes how the authors started a value-added butcher shop on their family farm to appeal to changing demographics in their community, including new immigrant groups seeking halal and kosher meats. Ethnic consumers desire fresh, locally-raised meat processed according to cultural traditions. The authors worked to understand various holidays and foodways to successfully market to specific communities. While ethnic consumers prioritize fresh, local products, budget constraints can impact purchasing; farmers must set competitive prices.
This is the 4th presentation in a 4-part series on the ethnic marketing of lamb and mutton. The presentation was given by Dr. Richard Ehrhardt from Michigan State University.

What counts as Indigenous food?
Indigenous cuisine differ based on where you are since they are unique to each region.
Whole foods are indigenous foods. That excludes the Whole30 diet and the network of supermarkets. It refers to food items that are derived straight from the earth or an animal.
Anything not included in that definition did not exist prior to colonization.
Food is Power, for instance, shares:
Barley and wheat were among the plants introduced from abroad.
The regions that the Europeans occupied did not naturally include animals like cows and poultry.
Even though the activity of milking animals wasn't new, it wasn't widespread among Indigenous people.
Examples also include processed foods, foods that aren't in their natural states, and non-native flora and animals.
Through cuisine, a number of Indigenous people from the United States, Canada, and Mexico are paying tribute to their culture. They may be in charge of projects, teaching, or managing eateries (or all three)! Award-winning chef Sean Sherman, an Oglala Lakota and the creator of The Sioux Chef, is one illustration. In the beginning, Sherman worked as a caterer and culinary instructor before opening his present restaurant, Amani. A full-service restaurant called Amani serves food that is native to North America and the state of Minnesota.
Because I was aware of how much better for my health an indigenous diet is, I "truly wanted to make a difference. Compared to the Western European colonizers, there is a substantially greater variety of plants. Sherman talked about his experiences growing up on a reservation, particularly the subpar food his tribe received as a result of government initiatives. The essentials included things like powdered milk and subpar cheese.
He claims that the heavily processed character of these meals is to blame for the high rates of chronic illnesses in Native communities.
He defended it by saying, "It's just what we've had to put up with for the last century."

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

becoming another suburb:
Our area was welcoming
diverse cultural groups:
Many local farms were
Central Ohio has
becoming subdivisions
It was no longer
feasible to farm using
conventional methods
and still make a profit
Livestock prices
fluctuated dramatically
become home to a
number of immigrant
& refugee groups
These individuals
continue to seek their
traditional sources of
protein, typically lamb
& goat meat
5. Niche Marketing

Budget Conscious
Will someone on a
tight budget

light of increased
livestock prices?
13. Do You Have “Good” Sheep?
In the ethnic community,
fresh products are highly
esteemed.
Other buzzwords include
“pure”, “organic”, and
“natural”.
In reality, though, their
definitions do not match
USDA standards.
The ethnic focus is on
farm fresh, preferably
local, products.
Budgetary constraints,
however, impact buying
decisions.
Consumers seek custom
processed, ritually
slaughtered products . . .
But will choose imported
frozen meats if the price
is right.
Ethnic customers tend to
utilize rice & breads to
stretch meals.
14. Economics of
Lamb & Goat
Production
Production of lamb &
goat is rising.
Consumers are
recognizing the value of
locally raised products.
Sheep & goats are small,
easy to manage, and
reproduce rapidly.
Prices will continue to
fluctuate until the
production nears the
demand, and there is a
steady supply available.
There is a greater demand for
goat & lamb than the current
supply in America.
The demand drives the price up
for fresh, ritually slaughtered goat
& lamb.
Generally the individuals who
enjoy these products have
budgetary restraints.
The supply is supplemented by
frozen Australian & New Zealand
product, available at lower cost.
15. Ethnic (Direct) Marketing
There can be difficulties in communicating between cultures. Patience &
understanding can solve many problems – even with fellow Americans!
Different cultures emphasize different styles of purchasing – understand,
but be firm. Always make sure to finalize payment!
Seek educational opportunities to gain cultural understanding: agricultural
educational venues, internet resources, international groups.
Never hesitate to ask questions to learn what a customer is seeking;
knowledge is always beneficial.
The ethnic community relies on word-of-mouth promotion; use positive
personal experiences to promote your farm. Periodicals welcome
advertising from American businesses & farms.
Illegal slaughter may seem like a quick way to make money, but it impacts
the entire industry: educate yourself on regulations regarding slaughter and
do not set yourself up for failure!
Smiles & thanks are universally appreciated!
16. Identify a niche and
market to it!
Understand what your
chosen consumer seeks!
Promote the unique
quality of your product!
Set a price that justifies
production! Profit is
NOT a dirty word in
farming!
Eat your product – use
what you produce!
Network with producers
to share ideas!
Connect with your
governmental leaders!
There is no enterprise as ancient
and noble as the care of the earth
and its creatures.
