Jeff Siddoway to be presented with American Sheep Industry Association’s McClure Silver Ram Award
Awards ceremony takes place Jan. 20 at ASI Annual Convention
Idaho’s Jeff Siddoway, the second member of his family to receive the American Sheep Industry Association’s McClure Silver Ram Award, will be honored later this month in Fort Worth, Texas, after he was selected from a group of nominees as the 2023 recipient. His wife, Cindy – a past president of ASI – won the award in 2016, according to the association.
Siddoway will be joined on stage that day by Distinguished Producer Award winner Dr. Stanley Poe of Indiana; Peter Orwick Camptender Award winners Dr. Jim Logan, DVM, of Wyoming, and Dr. Cindy Wolf, DVM, of Minnesota; Industry Innovation Award winner Jeanne Carver of Oregon; and Shepherd’s Voice Award winner KLST-TV/KSAN-TV of San Angelo, Texas.
A fifth-generation Idaho sheep rancher, Siddoway made his mark while serving 12 years in the Idaho State Senate. He was also a regular participant in ASI’s Spring Trip to Washington, D.C., where he lobbied members of Congress on behalf of the industry. Siddoway ventured into politics “to protect agriculture,” as he’s said, and worked fervently on issues ranging from predator management to keeping the doors open at the U.S. Sheep Experiment Station in Dubois, Idaho.
Siddoway served on a variety of ASI’s councils and committees through the years, including a stint on the ASI Board of Directors. He’s also a past president of the Idaho Wool Growers Association.
