The Spokane Area Sheep Producers Association, (SASP) is an organization that promotes the sheep industry in Eastern Washington, Northern Idaho and Western Montana. This Inland Empire region is noted for having a diversity of sheep breeds in small family farm flocks.

SASP is made up of Inland Empire Shepherds working co-operatively for more efficient production of sheep through recognition and use of better breeding stock, improved feeding and flock management practices.

SASP works directly and indirectly to improve the sheep industry in the greater Spokane area by co-operating with The Washington State Sheep Producers, Washington State University, University of Idaho, and the Department of Agriculture. We focus on improving the market position of the Inland Empire Shepherds through education, pooling of wool and market lambs, support and projects that are helpful to the flock owner.

We are proud to encourage young shepherds through recognition and financial support of 4-H and FFA Sheep Projects. We are actively involved with Spokane Jr. Livestock Show as well as local County Fairs.

We invite all shepherds who live in our region to participate in our organization.
