Is increasing production possible without making major investments?

We’re all well aware of the opportunity and
challenge facing our industry. Canadian
lamb consumption has grown by 68% in the
past nine years; unfortunately, the number
of lambs processed in Canada isn’t keeping
pace. Currently, we can only meet 41% of the
demand. If we don’t increase supply, we will
continue to see retailers move to imported
product. Many of us talk about flock expansion
as a solution to preserving our domestic
market. So why aren’t more producers
expanding?
