The small ruminant webinar series provides remote education for sheep producers across Wisconsin. The webinars are a new spin from the long-standing and widespread sheep ETN meetings that retired Dr. Dave Thomas, sheep specialist, hosted during his tenure at the University of Wisconsin.
What are the signs of impending birth in ewes and does? Should I help and when should I help? What are typical best practices with newborn lambs and kids? Are the tools and supplies that will make lambing and kidding less stressful? This webinar is for beginning sheep and goat producers nervous and unsure about their upcoming lambing and kidding season to enable them to develop their skills and confidence.
Feed represents the single largest expense for sheep and goat producers and the base of every small ruminant diet is forage. This webinar helps producers know how to take a representative forage sample, understands the results and how to apply this information in making economical feeding decisions.
