This is an excellent opportunity to learn how to increase your odds of getting live lambs on the ground and off to a good start! This school will be held in a commercial sheep lambing barn, so there will be ample hands-on opportunities.

“EMPHASIS TO BE HANDS-ON EXPERIENCE”

Ewes: Lambing problems, obstetrics, grafting, foot trimming and health.

Lambs: Castration, docking, vaccinations, and emergency situations as they arise.

The school will also include discussions on sheep nutrition and facilities. Each participant with a flock can provide a description of their flock feeding programs so that individual ration analysis can be done during the nutrition session. Participants are also asked to wear warm, appropriate barn clothing and bring a clean rubber boots! All foot ware will be disinfected before entering the barn.
