States and foreign countries;

available, handled properly, and marketed efficiently to ensure
that consumers have an adequate supply of sheep products;
(4) the maintenance and expansion of existing markets
and development of new markets for sheep and sheep products
are vital to the welfare of sheep producers and persons concerned with marketing, using, and producing sheep and sheep
products, as well as to the general economy of the United
States, and necessary to ensure the ready availability and
efficient marketing of sheep and sheep products;
(5) there exist established State organizations conducting
sheep and sheep product promotion, research, and industry
and consumer education programs that are invaluable to the
efforts of promoting the consumption of sheep and sheep products;
(6) the cooperative development, financing, and
implementation of a coordinated national program of sheep
and sheep product promotion, research, consumer information,
education, and industry information are necessary to maintain
and expand existing markets and develop new markets for
